DILLY DALLY
I
THERE is a little girl I know Who takes her time to come and go. If you should ask her please to hurry, She tries her best then to be slow: She gives her parents lots of worry; But she, she never worries — no. — Her name is Dilly Dally; But some folks call her "Gallie." From head to feet She's never neat, But always shilly shally. II
When it is time for her to rise, She won't get up, but lies and lies,Her head beneath the cover: Then down she comes with sleepy eyes, When breakfast-time is over; Uncombed, with shoes she never ties. —
