What Are Little Boys Made Of?
(Come on lad, what are you made of?
Muscles!)
(Snips and snails, and puppy dogs' tails
Sugar and spice and all things nice
Sighs and cheers, and crocodile tears
Ribbons and laces, and sweet pretty faces)
What are little boys made of?
What are little boys made of?
"Snips and snails, and puppy dogs' tails
That's what little boys are made of !"
What are little girls made of?
What are little girls made of?
"Sugar and spice and all things nice
That's what little girls are made of!"
What are young men made of?
What are young men made of?
Sighs and cheers, and crocodile tears
And that are young men made of.
What are young women made of?
What are young women made of?
Ribbons and laces, and sweet pretty faces,
And that are young women made of.
(Sighs and cheers, and crocodile tears
Ribbons and laces, and sweet pretty faces
Snips and snails, and puppy dogs' tails
Sugar and spice and all things nice)
(Mind those hatches)
What are little boys made of?
What are little boys made of?
"Snips and snails, and puppy dogs' tails
That's what little boys are made of !"
