2. The milk comes fresh and foaming, Fresh from the good old cow; And, after I have lapped it, I frolic—you know how. I'm petted by the children, And the mistress of the house; And sometimes, when I'm nimble, I catch a little mouse. 3. But sometimes, when I'm naughty, I climb upon the stand, And eat the cake and chicken, Or any thing at hand; Ah! then they hide my saucer, No matter if I mew; And that's the way I'm punished For naughty things I do.
