Shake Me I Rattle Squeeze Me I Cry |
|
Please take me home and love me |
|
I was passing by a toy shop |
|
On the corner of the Square |
|
Where a little girl was looking |
|
In the window there |
|
She was looking at a dolly |
|
In a dress of rosy red |
|
And around the pretty dolly |
|
Hung a little sign that said: |
|
Shake me, I rattle |
|
Squeeze me, I cry |
|
Please take me home and love me |
|
I recalled another toy shop |
|
On a square so long ago |
|
Where I saw a little dolly |
|
That I wanted so |
|
I remembered, I remembered |
|
How I longed to make it mine |
|
And around that other dolly |
|
Hung another little sign: |
|
Shake me, I rattle |
|
Squeeze me, I cry |
|
I had counted my pennies |
|
Just a penny shy |
|
Shake me, I rattle |
|
Squeeze me I cry |
|
Please take me home and love me |
|
It was late and snow was falling |
|
As the shoppers hurried by |
|
Past the girl at the window |
|
With her little head held high |
|
They were closing up the toy shop |
|
As I hurried through the door |
|
Just in time to buy the dolly |
|
That her heart was longing for |
|
Shake me, I rattle |
|
Squeeze me, I cry |
|
And I gave her the dolly |
|
That we both had longed to buy |
|
Shake me, I rattle |
|
Squeeze me, I cry |
|
Please take me home and love me |
