“Snap, Be Good!”
“Dear lit-tle Snap, you fun-ny pup,
I love to see you beg,
So cle-ver-ly do you sit up
And bend each slen-der leg,
Drop-ping the paw;
And raise your ears a-bove your head,
Look-ing so very wise;
You seem to know I have some bread;
And then, such bright green eyes
I never saw.
“Your shag-gy coat is long and rough,
Your tail is rough-er still;
Now, Snap, I think you’ve had e-nough,
And more would make you ill—
In-deed it would.
But sis-ter Lot-ty has some cake,
And so if you will sit
Quite still and good, till I say ‘Take!’
Then you shall have a bit;
So, Snap, be good!”
