With arms and legs attached to yous.
To walk and hop and moving ridge and hold
Are more precious than a pot of golden!

I know that once you walked this mode many years ago And what you did forth the fashion I'd really similar to know.
For sometimes when I am tempted,
I don't know what to practise.
So walk a little plainer, Daddy…for I must follow you.
Some 24-hour interval when I'm grown upward, you are like I want to be,
And then I will have a niggling boy who will desire to follow me.
And I would desire to lead him right
And help him to be true,
So walk a trivial plainer, Daddy…for we must follow you.
