There's a dear little home in Good Children streetA
My heart turneth fondly to dayB
Where tinkle of tongues and patter of feetA
Make sweetest of music at playB
Where the sunshine of love illumines each faceC
And warms every heart in that old fashioned placeC
-
For dear little children go romping aboutD
With dollies and tin tops and drumsE
And my how they frolic and scamper and shoutD
Till bedtime too speedily comesE
Oh days they are golden and days they are fleetA
With little folk living in Good Children streetA
-
See here comes an army with guns painted redF
And swords caps and plumes of all sortsG
The captain rides gaily and proudly aheadF
On a stick horse that prances and snortsG
Oh legions of soldiers you're certain to meetA
Nice make believe soldiers in Good Children streetA
-
And yonder Odette wheels her dolly aboutD
Poor dolly I'm sure she is illH
For one of her blue china eyes has dropped outD
And her voice is asthmatic'ly shrillH
Then too I observe she is minus her feetA
Which causes much sorrow in Good Children streetA
-
'T is so the dear children go romping aboutD
With dollies and banners and drumsE
And I venture to say they are sadly put outD
When an end to their jubilee comesE
Oh days they are golden and days they are fleetA
With little folk living in Good Children streetA
-
But when falleth night over river and townI
Those little folk vanish from sightJ
And an angel all white from the sky cometh downI
And guardeth the babes through the nightJ
And singeth her lullabies tender and sweetA
To the dear little people in Good Children StreetA
-
Though elsewhere the world be o'erburdened with careK
Though poverty fall to my lotL
Though toil and vexation be always my shareK
What care I they trouble me notL
This thought maketh life ever joyous and SweetA
There's a dear little home in Good Children streetA
