Rhyme Scheme: AABABCAD EEFEFAE AACGHIGI JJHJHKJK LLMLMNLN OOPO AOA QQRQRAQA IININBIB EESESAEThere's a little girl I know | A |
And we call her So and So | A |
She is neither good nor bad | B |
Good enough for me although | A |
Never saw a girl that had | B |
More real life in her or more | C |
Of what people christen go | A |
Pretty too as she is poor | D |
- | |
So and So is not her name | E |
But her nickname She's to blame | E |
For it being named that way | F |
For she often starts some game | E |
And when asked what 't is we play | F |
She just answers 'I don't know | A |
It's a good game just the same | E |
And I call it So and So ' | - |
- | |
Other girls don't like her no | A |
Just because she's So and So | A |
Call her names like Tomboy or | C |
Wildcat just as girls will do | G |
When a girl is popular | H |
With the boys and does n't care | I |
Much for girls and 's pretty too | G |
With blue eyes and golden hair | I |
- | |
I would give most anything | J |
Just to hear her laugh and sing | J |
Dance too She is funnier | H |
Than a circus and its ring | J |
And no boy can out run her | H |
Or out dare her And oh my | K |
You should see her in a swing | J |
Streaking it into the sky | K |
- | |
She's the girl that suits me yes | L |
And suits all the boys I guess | L |
Never backward always in | M |
For some picnic more or less | L |
Take your top and wind and spin | M |
Or play marbles fly a kite | N |
Or if needs be in a mess | L |
She can just pitch in and fight | N |
- | |
Let some big boy dare to touch | O |
Bully some small boy or such | O |
She's right at him saying 'You | P |
Great big coward need a crutch | O |
By the time that I get through ' | - |
And she's bright at school although | A |
She don't have to study much | O |
As some other girls I know | A |
- | |
Once two weeks went by and she | Q |
Had just disappeared you see | Q |
Had n't come to play or call | R |
She was sick apparently | Q |
And we made it up that all | R |
All the boys or some should go | A |
And find out what it could be | Q |
And report on So and So | A |
- | |
Well what do you think Declare | I |
When we rang the door bell there | I |
At the door she stood as bright | N |
Brighter ev'n with nice combed hair | I |
In an apron spotless white | N |
And she smiled and seemed so glad | B |
But about her was an air | I |
Of importance she'd not had | B |
- | |
Was the same yet not the same | E |
And when I began to blame | E |
She just stopped me with a bow | S |
Saying 'Boys I've changed my name | E |
I've a little brother now | S |
Baby brother Don't you know | A |
Takes the place of every game | E |
And I call him So and So ' | - |
