KITTIE'S TOYS

And Johnny beats the wee ones, the small ones, the weak ones,
He takes their playthings from them in the name of liberty.

When Johnny gets a whacking, a whacking, a whacking,
When Johnny gets a whacking, I think he'll let me be,
And I shall have my penny, my penny, my penny,
And I shall buy a bright flag to wave in victory.
