| Every toe a rosebud on a chubby dimpled tree | C |
| Little legs as rounded and as plump as they can be | C |

| Angel wings aren't prettier than baby's feet I swear | D |
| - | |
| Not a sign of travel not a sign of care | D |
| Not a sign of burdens they have had to bear | D |
| Just the pinkest pinkness and the plumpest plumpness known | E |
| Kicking in their gladness when the covers back are thrown | E |
| - | |
| Little feet that never yet have stepped aside to sin | F |
| Never trampled others down in selfishness to win | F |
| Never felt the bruises or the weariness of strife | G |
| Aren't they good to look at as they're starting out in life | G |

| Little feet I wonder as I watch you kick in play | A |
| Peeping through your nightie at the ending of the day | A |
| Wonder where you'll wander in the years that lie ahead | H |
| And I pray the Lord to guard you o'er the paths that you must tread | H |
