Part 2

"Then, to pay me for my trouble, I'll have plenty and to spare. Safe at home I'll pass the winter, Little for the storm I'll care.

"That reminds me I am idle; While I'm talking here to you. Why, dear me! how dark it's growing! And I still have work to do."

Throwing then a nutshell at me, Winking with his eyes so bright, Off he scampered through the branches, Where he soon was lost to sight.

ROLY-POLY.

Words by OLIVE A. WADSWORTH. Music by T. CRAMPTON.

1. Roly-Poly is three years old; Yes, three years old and a trifle over; Roly-Poly is round as a ball, As jolly as larks, and sweet as clover. Roly-Poly has stars for eyes, A heavenly chin with a dimple in it; Peaches for cheeks, the bud of a nose, And a tongue that is never still a minute.

2. Roly-Poly's a business man; He rides to market on Grandpa's cane; He orders breakfast of peppermint drops, Then gallops his pony home again. Roly-Poly rules everything; His father and mother are captives wholly; Sisters must yield to such a king, Who will make all obey him, Roly-Poly.
