1.If I were a little bird,I‘d sing my sweetest song;I’d take a journey to the skiesAnd frolic all day long.
2.If I were a pussy-cat,I‘d chase the rats and mice;And have sweet cream for supper,And everything that’s nice.
3.If I were a tiny mouse,I‘d gnaw the soft new cheese;When Tabby wasn’t in the way,I‘d do just as I please.
4.But I am a little boy,Just learning what to do;And every day,it seems to me,I’ll find out something new.
5.I get up in the morning And play with Tom and Nell;But when I am as old as theyI‘ll go to school as well.
6.I’m very little,to be sure,But then I‘m only four;And some day I’ll be older,And know a great deal more.
