First lines
Georgie and Maudie came home from school, / And each had got a prize; / They had worked very hard, and tried to be good, / For they wanted to grow up wise.
And now behold them jumping for joy, / And clapping their hands with glee, / Because Mamma has promised them-- / They shall stay for a month by the sea.
