WHAT’S THE USE
[Welland Telegraph October 8, 1903]
What’s the use o’ growin’ up?
You can’t paddle with your toes
In a puddle; you can’t yell
When you’re feelin’ extra well,
Why every feller knows
A grown-up can’t let loose,
I don’t want to no older–
What’s the use?
What’s the use o’ growin’ up?
When I’m big I don’t suppose
Explorin’ would be right
I don’t like to get my clo’s
All water melon juice.
I don’t want to be no older–
What’s the use?
What’s the use o’ growin’ up?
You couldn’t ride the cow,
An’ the rabbits an’ the pig
Don’t like you cause you’re big.
I’m comfortublest now.
Z’raps I am a goose;
I don’t want to be no older–
What’s the use?
What’s the use o’ growin. up>
When you’ve growed, why, every day
You just have to be one thing;
I’m a pirate. Er a king,
Er a cow-boy—I can play
That I’m anything I choose.
I don’t want to be no older–
What’s the use?
