Oh, children, you are dirty,
Why couldnt you stay clean?
Ive just this minute changed you
And youre not fit to be seen!<\/p>\n
And thus I growled and grumbled;
But Grannys, worldly wise,
Said, Let them play in dirt, my dear,
And let them make mud pies.<\/p>\n
Its only right and natural
A little child should play.
Its only when their very sick
Theyll keep clean all day.<\/p>\n
And theres a little saying,
Which I find is very true,
That Satan finds some mischief still
For idle hands to do.<\/p>\n
So let them make their little pies,
And let them stack the coals;
The folk that have the grimy hands,
Oft have the whitest souls.<\/p>\n
And if you need a helping hand,
Its often times Ive seen,
The hands that do the helping,
Are the hands that arent too clean!<\/p>\n
