The Only Child.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!

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!
