Awf'lest boy in this-here town Er anywheres is Elmer Brown!
He'll mock you -- yes, an' strangers, too, An' make a face an' yell at you, -- "_Here's_ the way _you_ look!"
Yes, an' wunst in School one day, An' Teacher's lookin' wite that way, He helt his slate, an' hide his head, An' maked a face at _her_, an' said, -- "_Here's_ the way _you_ look!"
An' sir! when Rosie Wheeler smile One morning at him 'crosst the aisle, He twist his face all up, an' black His nose wiv ink, an' whisper back, -- "_Here's_ the way _you_ look!"
Wunst when his Aunt's all dressed to call, An' kiss him good-bye in the hall, An' latch the gate an' start away, He holler out to her an' say, -- "_Here's_ the way _you_ look!"
An' when his Pa he read out loud The speech he maked, an' feel so proud It's in the paper -- Elmer's Ma She ketched him -- wite behind his Pa, -- "_Here's_ the way _you_ look!"
Nen when his Ma she slip an' take Him in the other room an' shake Him good! w'y, he don't care -- no-_sir_! -- He ist look up an' laugh at her, -- "_Here's_ the way _you_ look! "
