Text III


What are little boys made of?

What are little boys made of?

“Snips and snails, and puppy dogs' tails

That's what little boys are made of!”

What are little girls made of?

What are little girls made of?

“Sugar and spice and all things nice

That's what little girls are made of!”

What are young men made of?

What are young men made of?

Sighs and cheers,

and crocodile tears

And that are what young men made of.

What are young women made of?

What are young women made of?

Ribbons and laces,

and sweet pretty faces,

And that are what young women made of.
