Shonny Schwartz

Haf you seen mine leedle Shonny,—

Shonny Schwartz,

Mit his hair so soft und yellow,
Und his face so blump und mellow;
Sooch a funny leedle fellow, —

Shonny Schwartz?

Efry mornings dot young Shonny —

Shonny Schwartz

Rises mit der preak off day,
Und does his chores oup righdt avay;
For he gan vork so vell as blay, —

Shonny Schwartz.

Mine Katrina says to Shonny,

"Shonny Schwartz,

Helb your barents all you gan,
For dis life vas bud a shban:
Py und py you'll been a man,

Shonny Schwartz."

How I lofes to see dot Shonny —

Shonny Schwartz

Vhen he schgampers off to schgool,
Vhere he alvays minds der rule!
For he vas nopody's fool, —

Shonny Schwartz.

How I vish dot leedle Shonny —

Shonny Schwartz

Could remain von leedle poy,
Alvays full off life und shoy,
Und dot Time vould not annoy

Shonny Schwartz!

Nefer mindt, mine leedle Shonny, —

Shonny Schwartz

Efry day prings someding new:
Alvays keep der righdt in view,
Und baddle, den, your own canoe,

Shonny Schwartz.

Keep her in der channel, Shonny, —

Shonny Schwartz:

Life's voyich vill pe quickly o'er;
Und den ubon dot bedder shore
Ve'll meet again, to bart no more,

Shonny Schwartz.
