Lyrics
(Anice Morris Stockton Terhune)
I’ve put my doll in a nice big boat,
I think she’ll surely keep afloat.
It’s such an easy thing to do,
I hope that she’ll sit still, don’t you?
Her hands stick out on either side,
I’m sure she quite enjoys the ride.
But oh, see here, the boat acts weird!
It’s gone down, oh dear!
