with the flaxen hair.
\nd the big. fat, growly
1 eddy l>ear
1 hat is made for hugs and
squeezing,
And the dolly boy with the
queer little hat.
And the doggy <Joil. and the
nccktied cat.
Which I" m sure is very |
pleasing. i !
j IS a rain, my dear, where
you don't get wet
Ard you can't catch cold at
all. and yet
^ ou d hotter not he out in it,
Ri i stay asleep in your trundie
bed

red
And then jump up that
minute!
Ym jump nght up in your j
nightgown white
And see what a rain has tali- j
en at night.
And it won't be polly
wollies.
' ^ut there on the hearth where
the doll drops fall
You'll find them each and
you'll love them ail ?
And such is the rain of
the dollies.
