For I mean to grow as little as the dolly at the helm, And the dolly I intend to come alive; And with him beside to help me, it's a sailing I shall go, It's a sailing on the water, when the jolly breezes blow And the vessel goes a divie divie dive. FOR I MEAN TO GROW AS A LITTLE AS THE DOLLY AT THE HELM AND THE DOLL I INTEND TO COME ALIVE AND WITH HIM BESIDE HELP ME IT'S A SAILING I SHALL GO IT'S THE SAILING OF THE WATER WHERE THE JOLLY BREEZES BLOW AND THE VESSEL GOES DIVE YE DIVY DIVE
heard him and nobody saw, His is a picture you never could draw, But he's sure to be present, abroad or at home, When children are happy and playing alone. He lies in the laurels, he runs on the grass, He sings when you tinkle the musical glass; Whene'er you are happy and cannot tell why, The Friend of the Children is sure to be by! He loves to be little, he hates to be big, 'Tis he that inhabits the caves that you dig; 'Tis he when you play with your soldiers of tin That sides with the Frenchmen and never can win. 'Tis he, when at night you go off to your bed, Bids you go to your sleep and not trouble your head; For wherever they're lying, in cupboard or shelf, 'Tis he will take care of your playthings himself! [Illustration] MY SHIP AND I O it's I that am the captain of a tidy little ship, Of a ship that goes a-sailing on the pond; And my ship it keeps a-turning all around and all about; But when I'm a little older, I shall find the secret out How to send my vessel sailing on beyond.  AND GOOD THE FRIEND OF THE CHILDREN COMES OUT OF THE WOOD NOBODY HEARD HIM AND NOBODY SAW HE IS A PICTURE YOU NEVER COULD DRAW BUT HE SURE TO BE PRESENT ABOARD OR AT HOME WHEN CHILDREN ARE HAPPY AND PLAY GALODE HE LIES IN THE LAURELS HE RUNS ON THE GRASS HE SINGS WHEN YOU TWINKLE THE MUSICAL GLASS WHENEVER YOU ARE HAPPY AND CANNOT TELL WHY THE FRIEND OF THE CHILDREN IS SURE TO BE BY HE LOVES TO BE LITTLE HE HATES TO BE BIG T IS HE THAT INHABITS THE CASE THAT YOU DIG TIS HE WHEN YOU PLAY WITH YOUR SOLDIERS OF TIN BESIDES AS A FRENCHMAN AND NEVER CAN WIN TIS HE WHEN AT NIGHT YOU GO OFF TO YOUR BED BERT BID YOU YOU GO TO YOUR SLEEP AND NOT TROUBLE YOUR HEAD FOR WHEREVER THEY LIE AND COVER OR SHELF TIS HE WILL TAKE CARE YOUR PLAYTHINGS HIMSELF MY SHIP AND I OH IT IS I THAT AM CAPTAIN OF A TIDY LITTLE SHIP OF A SHIP THAT GOES AFEAILING ON THE POND AND MY SHIP KEEPS A TURNING ALL AROUND AND ALL ABOUT AND BUT WHEN I'M HOLDER I SHALL FIND THE SECRET OUT HOW TO SEND MY VESSEL SAILING ON BEYOND
