I. I'm a knickerbocker boy! See my coat and breeches! Cuffs and collar, pocket too— Made with many stitches! I must have a watch and chain, A silk umbrella and a cane.— No more kilts and skirts for me! I'm a big boy—don't you see? II. Knickerbockers! Knickerbockers! Give away my other clothes! Give away my horse with rockers; I want one that really goes. Two brisk, prancing goats will do; But I'd like a wagon too. No more chairs hitched up for me! I'm a big boy—don't you see?
