My teacher taught me, yesterday, / A very pretty piece to say;
But when I try to think of it, / I can't remember it a bit!
My head's so full of toys and such, / I can't remember very much!
My teacher told me yesterday / "_Work when you work; Play when you play! _"
When I am playing with my toys / I am the busiest of boys; / But when I study or I work / I'm 'fraid I _am_ inclined to shirk!
