Pit-ti-pat, Patter, the Little Feet Go.
Copyright, 1888, by Chas. D. Blake & Co.
Words and Music by F. P. Dalrymple.
Home has its pleasures, though humble it be;
Its laughter And frolic, its innocent glee;
But of all its attractions none charms me more
Than the patter of little feet over the floor.
Refrain.
Pit-ti-pat, patter, the little feet go,
Pit-ti-pat, patter, all day to and fro;
What music more charming, what echoes more sweet,
Than the pit-tl-pat, patter, of the dear, tiny feet?
Chorus.
Pit-ti-pat, patter, the little feet go,
Pit-ti-pat, patter, all day to and fro;
What music more charming, what echoes more sweet,
Than the pit-ti-pat, patter, of the dear, tiny feet.
Busy, so busy from morning till night:
Just toddling und tripping, the sweet little sprite;
And the steps without number fall by the score.
As toddles the darling one over the floor.-Refrain & Chorus.
Precious feet long ago flitted from home;
Through life's rugged pathway they now bravely roam;
But my fancy still catches, as in days of yore,
The patter of little feet over the floor. -Refrain & Chorus.
