| Of that jolly little human the bow leg boy | B |
| The cute little boy | B |
| The funny little boy | B |
| The dear little bow leg boy | B |
| - | |
| If ever the doctor man comes my way | A |
| With his wonderful box in his two wheel shay | A |
| I 'll ask for the treasure I'd fain possess | I |
| Now honest Injun can't you guess | I |
| Why a cute little boy | B |
| A funny little boy | B |
| A dear little bow leg boy | B |
