I Never Do

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I never spill my milk upon my mother's tablecloth,
I never stir my spoon around to meddle with my broth,
I never pass in front of folks without "excuse me" said,
I never make a fuss when it is time to go to bed.

I never do those dreadful things, (that is, I try not to)
I never do. I never do, I never do—
DO YOU?

I never say I will not, or I cannot. If I can.

I never leave my toys about when things are spick and span,
I never tease the kitten or the smaller children dear.
I never, when I hurt myself, will shed a single tear.

I never do those dreadful things, (that is, I try not to)
I never do. I never do, I never do—
DO YOU?

I never scribble on my books or anywhere, indeed,
I never cross the street without great amount of heed.
I never shout and slam the doors when quiet I should be,
I never wear a pouty face where anyone can see,

never do those dreadful things, (at least I try not to)
I never do. I never do, I never do—
DO YOU?
