| When a naughty little fellow that has disobeyed his Ma | D |
| Has at last been brought to judgment in the presence of his Pa | D |
| Who has heard that dreadful story of that very dreadful day | E |
| And you know that he is worried over what you'll do or say | E |
| And against your cheek you notice there's a cheek that's damp and hot | F |
| Are you stern enough to whip him Well you bet your life I'm not | F |
