Curly locks, Curly Locks, wilt thou be ours? Thou shalt not wash dishes, nor yet weed the flowers, But stand in the kitchen and cook a fine meal, And ride every night in an automobile. Curly Locks, Curly Locks, come to us soon! Thou needest not to rise until mid-afternoon;
Thou mayest be Croatian, Armenian, or Greek; Thy guerdon shall be what thy askest per week. Curly Locks, Curly Locks, give us a chance! Thou shalt not wash windows, nor iron my pants. Oh, come to the cosiest of seven-room bowers, Curly Locks, Curly Locks, wilt thou be ours?
