This is the Play of Everychild With Cho-Cho As Author and Manager . The play has defects — It has good points — And bad points — Like the world itself — Like life !

In this droll world There are lots of children Who are the children of fools — Like me . Good people ! I bespeak your patience With Everychild Daughter of a Clown .
