Now We Are Six/The Good Little Girl
It’s funny how often they say to me, “Jane? “Have you been a good girl?” “Have you been a good girl?”And when they have said it, they say it again, “Have you been a good girl?” “Have you been a good girl?”
I go to a party, I go out to tea,I go to an aunt for a week at the sea,I come back from school or from playing a game;Wherever I come from, it’s always the same: “Well? Have you been a good girl, Jane?”
It’s always the end of the loveliest day: “Have you been a good girl?” “Have you been a good girl?”I went to the Zoo, and they waited to say: “Have you been a good girl?” “Have you been a good girl?”
Well, what did they think that I went there to do?And why should I want to be bad at the Zoo?And should I be likely to say if I had?So that’s why it’s funny of Mummy and Dad,This asking and asking, in case I was bad, “Well? Have you been a good girl, Jane?”
