4 I am a merry tailor,
My suits fit close and true. And 1 make boots and shoes, Come, here's a pair for you.
5 I am a busy seamstress,
The neatest work I stitch; |
And I'm a cheerful teacher, And never use a switch.
Cho. We all are cheerful workers, We're busy day and night, No matter what our trade is, We all will serve vou right. |
