BOBBY LEE
Reading edition
ONE, two, three!
One was Bobby Lee
Sitting by the brook,
With his fishing-hook,
With his spelling-book
Thrust far aside,
Whilst loud he cried:
"For once, no school,
For once, no rule,
Bell, ring away!
This whole, whole day
I'll stop and play!"
One, two, three!
One was Mrs. Bee
Stopping just to stare
At the vision there—
Bobby by the brook
With his fishing-hook;
At the spelling-book
Thrust far aside;
THREE.
By Rosa Graham.
Whilst loud she cried:
"The livelong day
A boy to play!
I'd like to see
One little bee
Like Bobby Lee!"
One, two, three!
One was Lady Rose,
In her pretty clothes,
Staring down to see
Little Bobby Lee,
With his fishing-hook,
With his spelling-book
Thrust far aside,
Whilst loud she cried:
"The livelong day,
A boy to play!
I'd like to know,
If I did so,
How I would grow!"
