The Knickerbocker Boy. By Caroline S. King. I. I ’m a knickerbocker boy! See my coat and breeches! Cuffs and collar, pocket too— Made with many stitches! I must have a watch and chain, A silk umbrella and a cane.— No more kilts and skirts for me! I ’m a big boy—don’t you see? II. Knickerbockers! Knickerbockers! Give away my other clothes! Give away my horse with rockers; I want one that really goes. Two brisk, prancing goats will do; But I ’d like a wagon too. No more chairs hitched up for me I ’m a big boy—don’t you see?
