Lyrics
1. What are little boys made of, made of?
What are little boys made of?
Frogs and snails and puppy dog’s tails,
And such are little boys made of.
Chorus.
Frogs and snails and puppy dog’s tails,
And such are little boys made of.
2. What are little girls made of, made of?
What are little girls made of?
Sugar and spice and all things nice,
And such are little girls made of;
Sugar and spice and all things nice,
And such are little girls made of.
3. What are our young men made of, made of?
What are our young men made of?
Sighs and leers, and crocodile tears,
And such are our young men made of;
Sighs and leers, and crocodile tears,
And such are our young men made of.
4. What are young women made of, made of?
What are young women made of?
Ribbons and laces, and sweet pretty faces,
And such are young women made of;
Ribbons and laces, and sweet pretty faces,
And such are young women made of.
