Curly Locks, Curly Locks, wilt thou be ours?
Thou shalt not wash dishes, nor yet weed the flowers, / But stand in the kitchen and cook a fine meal, / And ride every night in an automobile.
Curly Locks, Curly Locks, come to us soon!
Thou needst not to rise until mid-afternoon; / Thou mayst be Croatian, Armenian, or Greek; / Thy guerdon shall be what thou askest per week.
Curly Locks, Curly Locks, give us a chance!
Thou shalt not wash windows, nor iron my pants.
Oh, come to the cosiest of seven-room bowers, / Curly Locks, Curly Locks, wilt thou be ours?
