• LP Nursery Rhymes, Games and Folksongs

Oh what are little boys made of made of
What are little boys made of made of
Pigeons and nails and puppy dog tails
That's what little boys are made of

Oh what are little girls made of made of
What are little girls made of made of
Sugar and spice and everything nice
That's what little girls are made of

Well what are young men made of made of
what are young men  made of made of
Horned toads and flies and funny bow ties
That's what young men are made of

Well what are young women made of made of
What are young women made of made of
Rings and dings and all fine things
That's what young women are made of

Well what are old men made of made of
What are old men made of made of
Tobacco and brandy, sugar and candy
That's what old men are made of

Well what are old women made of made of
What are old women made of made of
Moans and groans in their old achin' bones
That's what old women are made of

What are little babies made of made of
What are little babies made of made of
Sugar and crumbs and cinnamon buns
That's what little babies are made of
