I wish, when you was through your work some night / And goin' home alone, and had your pay / Stuck in your stockin' -- what you drew that day -- / A robber'd come along with all his might / And you'd be nearly scared to death, and right / There in the street you'd almost faint and say: / "Good robber, please don't hurt me -- go away!" / And as he grabbed you then I'd come in sight.
I wish I'd be as strong as two or three / Big giants then, and when I handed one / Out to him he'd be through, all in, and done, / And then you'd look and see that it was me, / And, thinkin' of the great escape you had, / You'd snuggle in my arms and just be glad.
