I.
I ’m a knickerbocker boy!
See my coat and breeches!
Cuffs and collar, pocket too—
Made with many stitches!
I must have a watch and chain,
A silk umbrella and a cane.—
No more kilts and skirts for me!
I ’m a big boy—don’t you see?
II.
Knickerbockers! Knickerbockers!
Give away my other clothes!
Give away my horse with rockers;
I want one that really goes.
Two brisk, prancing goats will do;
But I ’d like a wagon too.
No more chairs hitched up for me
I ’m a big boy—don’t you see?
