Ten true friends you have,
Who, five in a row,
Upon each side of you
Go where you go.
Suppose you are sleepy,
They help you to bed;
Suppose you are hungry,
They see that you are fed.
They wake up your dolly
And put on your clothes,
And trundle her carriage
Wherever she goes.
And these ten tiny fellows,
They serve you with ease;
And they ask nothing from you,
But work hard to please.
Now, with ten willing servants
So trusty and true,
Pray who would be lazy
Or idle—would you?
