  SOMEBODY went and broke my doll, an’ let her sawdust out On Mamma’s floor an’ my! there’s sawdust scattered all about! Dess scandalous! An’ bien by my Mamma’ll come an’ say: “I see ’at Little Mischefuss has been around today!” An’ sometimes w’en th’ sugar bowl’s lef’ open, she says ’en: “I dess ’at Little Mischefuss has been around again!” An’ my! I’m awful much surprised! an’ ast how does she know, But she dess says a little bird flew in an’ told her so! One time somebody went, she did, and broke my jumpin’-jack An’ Mamma says: “I see ’at Little Mischefuss is back.” An’ w’en somebody spilled p’eserves right on the pantry shelf She says: “I see ’at Mischefuss has tried to he’p herself!” One day somebody tored my dress an’ en she says: “I see At Little Mischefuss is dess as busy as can be! But she dess says a little bird flew in an’ told her so! Somebody frowed my blocks out doors an’ ’en ’ey dot all wet An’ all peeled off tuz why it rained an’ Mamma says she bet ’At Little Mischefuss is back from Topsyturvytown An’ mus’ be hidin’ in th’ house or else somew’eres aroun’. Oncet Mamma’s goin’ t’ spank her w’en she catches her, an’ so I ast her not to tuz she’s dess a little girl, you know, An’ don’t know any better ’an t’ plague an’ pester us, Till she dess laughs, tuz why she says I’m Little Mischefuss! |
