SONG

I AM A PRETTY LITTLE DUTCH GIRL,
AS PRETTY AS CAN BE
AND ALL THE BOYS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD,
GO CRAZY OVER ME.
THEY GIVE ME ALL THEIR MONEY,
THEY GIVE ME ALL THEIR PEARS,
THEY GIVE ME ALL THEIR PEACHES,
AND KISS ME ON THE STAIRS.
I GIVE THEM BACK THEIR MONEY,
I GIVE THEM BACK THEIR PEARS,
I GIVE THEM BACK THEIR PEACHES,
AND I KICK THEM DOWN THE STAIRS.
