THERE was a little girl
     And she took a little whirl,
And then was forced to atone some.
        But the more she tried,
        The more she cried;
For when she was good she was
         lonesome.

With oyster shells, and suppers at
        Del’s,
And ’lectric cabs all in a row ?

Could n’t help Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dump’d out.

Except the poor Victim
        And he got it — good.

Who keeps out of sight.
