1. Roly-Poly is three years old; Yes, three years old and a trifle over; Roly-Poly is round as a ball, As jolly as larks, and sweet as clover. Roly-Poly has stars for eyes, A heavenly chin with a dimple in it; Peaches for cheeks, the bud of a nose, And a tongue that is never still a minute. 2. Roly-Poly's a business man; He rides to market on Grandpa's cane; He orders breakfast of peppermint drops, Then gallops his pony home again. Roly-Poly rules everything; His father and mother are captives wholly; Sisters must yield to such a king, Who will make all obey him, Roly-Poly.
