Mamma comes home; there Conrad stands; And looks quite sad, and shows his hands: - “Ah” said Mamma “I knew he’d come To naughty little Suck-a-Thumb.
The door flew open, in he ran, The great, long, red legged scissor-man Snip1 Snap! Snip! The scissors go; And Conrad cries out - Oh! Oh! Oh!
“The great tall tailor always comes To little boys that suck their thumbs” Mamma had scarcely turn’d her back, The tumblebug was in, Alack! Alack!
One day, Mamma said: “Conrad dear, I must go out and leave you here But mind now, Conrad, what I say, Don’t suck your thumb while I’m away.”
