I'm twins, I guess, 'cause my Ma say / I'm two little girls. An' one o' me / Is _Good_ little girl; an' th'other 'n' she / Is _Bad little girl as she can be! _ / An' Ma say so, 'most ever' day.
An' she's the _funniest_ Ma! 'Cause when / My Doll won't mind, an' I ist cry, / W'y, nen my Ma she sob an' sigh, / An' say, "Dear _Good_ little girl, good-bye! -- / _Bad_ little girl's comed here again!"
Last time 'at Ma act' thataway, / I cried all to myse'f awhile / Out on the steps, an' nen I smile, / An' git my Doll all fix' in style, / An' go in where Ma's at, an' say: / _"Morning to you, Mommy dear_! / _Where's that Bad little girl wuz here_? / _Bad little girl's goned clean away_, / _An' Good little girl's comed back to stay.
