LITTLE PRINCE AND PRINCESS

THE PALACE PLAYTIME

I

THE PALACE PLAYTIME

Follow Me!

Children go

To and fro,

In a merry, pretty row,
Footsteps light,
Faces bright;

"Tis a happy sight,

Swiftly turning round and round, Never look upon the ground; Follow me,

Full of glee,
Singing merrily.

Work is done,

Play's begun;

Now we have our laugh and fun;

Happy days,

Pretty plays,

And no naughty ways.

Holding fast each other's hand,
We're a happy little band;

Follow me,
Full of glee,
Singing merrily.

Birds are free;

So are we;

And we live as happily.

Work we do,

Study too,

For we learn "Twice two ";

Then we laugh, and dance, and sing,
Gay as larks upon the wing;

Follow me,

Full of glee,

Singing merrily.

The Baby's Birthday

Come, Charles, blow the trumpet,

And George, beat the drum,

For this is the baby's birthday!
Little Annie shall sing,

And Jemmy shall dance,

'And father the jews-harp will play.

Rad-er-er too tan-da-ro te

Rad-er-er tad-or-er tan do re.
