I wonder what your thought will beAnd what you'll say and do, sir.When you come home again and seeWhat Daddy's got for you, sir.

I wonder if you'll like it, boy,Or turn away disgusted(You've often scorned a nice, new toyFor one that's old and busted.)

I wonder if you'll laugh, or cryAnd run in fright to mother.Or just act bored to death, when IShow you your brand new brother.
