And there I've seen the kind of dresses

It's right for growing girls to wear.

But never once the slightest mention

Of what they'd better go and see,

And yet it's clear that some attention

To such a thing there ought to be.

For sentiment and love they're frantic,

They're fond of knights and belted earls,

A play that's just the least romantic—

Yes, that's the play for growing girls.
