A careful man I ought to be,
\nA little fellow follows me,
\nI do not dare to go astray
\nFor fear he’ll go the selfsame way.<\/p>\n
I cannot once escape his eyes,
\nWhate’er he sees me do, he tries;
\nLike me, he says, he’s going to be,
\nThe little chap who follows me.<\/p>\n
He thinks that I am good and fine,
\nBelieves in every word of mine
\nThe base in me he must not see,
\nThe little chap who follows me.<\/p>\n
I must remember as I go,
\nThrough summer’s fun and winter’s snow,
\nIn building for the years to be
\nThe little chap who follows me!<\/p>\n
