Works

This is the long and
The short of it too:
One dolly stood still,
The other one grew.

She who is little
Prefers to be tall;
Blackman the giant
Would like to be small.

His dressing-gown's blue, and
His girdle is red;
He wears a black cap
On top of his head.

He carries a candle
To give you a light,
In case you should ever
Get up in the night.

There is a brown dolly
Who has a guitar;
She plays on it always,
Tra lal, tra lal la!

She has a new ditty
For every day;
I wish you could hear it,
Tra lal, tra lal lay!
