I LIKE to wear my party frock

That Auntie bought in town,

My patent shoes with shiny toes,

My Sunday hat with little bows,

And ribbons hanging down.

I like to hear the people say :

' How pretty Nancy looks to-day ! '

But Daddy shakes his head and says :

' You'll make her very vain.'

And Grannie says : ' She should be dressed

In everything that's of the best

But rather neat and plain.'

And Mother says : ' My goodness me !

Who can this lovely lady be ? '
