The Bow-Leg Boy

Who should come up the road one day     But the doctor-man in his two-wheel shay!     And he whoaed his horse and he cried "Ahoy!     I have brought you folks a bow-leg boy!     Such a cute little boy!     Such a funny little boy!     Such a dear little bow-leg boy!"     He took out his box and he opened it wide,     And there was the bow-leg boy inside!     And when they saw that cunning little mite,     They cried in a chorus expressive of delight:     "What a cute little boy!     What a funny little boy!     What a dear little bow-leg boy!"     Observing a strict geometrical law,     They cut out his panties with a circular saw;     Which gave such a stress to his oval stride     That the people he met invariably cried:     "What a cute little boy!     What a funny little boy!     What a dear little bow-leg boy!"     They gave him a wheel and away he went     Speeding along to his heart's content;     And he sits so straight and he pedals so strong     That the folks all say as he bowls along:     "What a cute little boy!     What a funny little boy!     What a dear little bow-leg boy!"     With his eyes aflame and his cheeks aglow,     He laughs "aha" and he laughs "oho";     And the world is filled and thrilled with the joy     Of that jolly little human, the bow-leg boy--     The cute little boy!     The funny little boy!     The dear little bow-leg boy!     If ever the doctor-man comes my way     With his wonderful box in his two-wheel shay,     I'll ask for the treasure I'd fain possess--     Now, honest Injun! can't you guess?     Why, a cute little boy--     A funny little boy--     A dear little bow-leg boy!
