SPEAK ROUGHLY TO YOUR LITTLE BOY


"Speak roughly to your little boy,
And beat him when he sneezes;
He only does it to annoy,
Because he knows it teases."

          CHORUS
          (in which the cook and the baby joined): -- --

          "Wow! wow! wow!"


"I speak severely to my boy,
I beat him when he sneezes;
For he can thoroughly enjoy
The pepper when he pleases!"

          CHORUS

          "Wow! wow! wow!"
