| A smudge on his nose and a smear on his cheek | B |
| And knees that might not have been washed in a week | B |
| A bump on his forehead a scar on his lip | C |
| A relic of many a tumble and trip | C |
| A rough little tough little rascal but sweet | D |
| Is he that each evening I'm eager to meet | D |
| - | |
| A brow that is beady with jewels of sweat | E |
| A face that's as black as a visage can get | E |
| A suit that at noon was a garment of white | F |
| Now one that his mother declares is a fright | F |
| A fun loving sun loving rascal and fine | G |
| Is he that comes placing his black fist in mine | G |
| - | |
| A crop of brown hair that is tousled and tossed | H |
| A waist from which two of the buttons are lost | H |
| A smile that shines out through the dirt and the grime | I |
| And eyes that are flashing delight all the time | I |
| All these are the joys that I'm eager to meet | D |
| And look for the moment I get to my street | D |
