Which is my nicest plaything?

I really cannot tell;

I have a china dolly,

I have a silver bell.

I have a string of beads;My mother often tells meI have all a baby needs.But if I had a brotherAs big as cousin Ben,Or if I had a sisterLike little Lilly Fen,We should havesuchtimes together,’Twould drive the neighbors wild—Oh! it’s very lonesomeTo be an only child!

I have a string of beads;

My mother often tells me

I have all a baby needs.

But if I had a brother

As big as cousin Ben,

Or if I had a sister

Like little Lilly Fen,

We should havesuchtimes together,

’Twould drive the neighbors wild—

Oh! it’s very lonesome

To be an only child!
