Held fast by chubby little arms,

For there is one upon the way

Who thinks the world was made for play.

Oh, where's the sound that's half so sweet

As pattering of baby feet?

JUST LIKE A MAN

This is the phrase they love to say:

"Just like a man!"

You can hear it wherever you chance to stray:

"Just like a man!"

The wife of the toiler, the queen of the king,

The bride with the shiny new wedding-ring

And the grandmothers, too, at our sex will fling,

"Just like a man!"

Cranky and peevish at times we grow:

"Just like a man!"

Now and then boastful of what we know:

"Just like a man!"
