“ Dot schmall leedlc vellow I dells you vas qveer; Not mooch pigger roundt as a goot glass off peer; Mit a bare-footed hed, und nose but a schpeck; A mout dot goes most to der pack off his neck; Und his leedle pink toes mit der rest all combine To gif sooch a charm to dot baby off mine.
I dells you dot baby vas von off der poys, Und beats leedle Yawcob for making a noise. He shust has pecun to shbeak goot English too; Says " Mamma" und " Papa," und somedimes "Ah, goo!" You don'd find a baby den dimes oudt off nine Dot vas qvite so schmart as dot baby off mine. ”
