There's a little girl I knowA
And we call her So and SoA
She is neither good nor badB
Good enough for me althoughA
Never saw a girl that hadB
More real life in her or moreC
Of what people christen goA
Pretty too as she is poorD
-
So and So is not her nameE
But her nickname She's to blameE
For it being named that wayF
For she often starts some gameE
And when asked what 't is we playF
She just answers 'I don't knowA
It's a good game just the sameE
And I call it So and So '-
-
Other girls don't like her noA
Just because she's So and SoA
Call her names like Tomboy orC
Wildcat just as girls will doG
When a girl is popularH
With the boys and does n't careI
Much for girls and 's pretty tooG
With blue eyes and golden hairI
-
I would give most anythingJ
Just to hear her laugh and singJ
Dance too She is funnierH
Than a circus and its ringJ
And no boy can out run herH
Or out dare her And oh myK
You should see her in a swingJ
Streaking it into the skyK
-
She's the girl that suits me yesL
And suits all the boys I guessL
Never backward always inM
For some picnic more or lessL
Take your top and wind and spinM
Or play marbles fly a kiteN
Or if needs be in a messL
She can just pitch in and fightN
-
Let some big boy dare to touchO
Bully some small boy or suchO
She's right at him saying 'YouP
Great big coward need a crutchO
By the time that I get through '-
And she's bright at school althoughA
She don't have to study muchO
As some other girls I knowA
-
Once two weeks went by and sheQ
Had just disappeared you seeQ
Had n't come to play or callR
She was sick apparentlyQ
And we made it up that allR
All the boys or some should goA
And find out what it could beQ
And report on So and SoA
-
Well what do you think DeclareI
When we rang the door bell thereI
At the door she stood as brightN
Brighter ev'n with nice combed hairI
In an apron spotless whiteN
And she smiled and seemed so gladB
But about her was an airI
Of importance she'd not hadB
-
Was the same yet not the sameE
And when I began to blameE
She just stopped me with a bowS
Saying 'Boys I've changed my nameE
I've a little brother nowS
Baby brother Don't you knowA
Takes the place of every gameE
And I call him So and So '-
