Little girl across the way,
You are so very sweet,
I shouldn't be a bit surprised
If you were good to eat.
Now what I'd like if you would too,
Would be to go and play--
Well, all the time, and all my life,
On your side of the way.
I don't know anybody yet
On your side of the street,
But often I look over there
And watch you--you're so sweet.
When I am big, I tell you what,
I don't care what they say,
I'll go across--and stay there, too,
On your side of the way.
