Griselda
[** Disc 2:]
Griselda is greedy* I'm sorry to say She isn't contented With four meals a day
Like breakfast and dinner And supper and tea Griselda is greedy As greedy can be
Oh she snoops about the larder for sundry small supplies She breaks the little crusty bits off rims of apple pies She pokes the roast-potato-dish when Sunday dinner's done If there are two left in it then Griselda snitches one
Cold chicken and cold cauliflower She pulls in little chunks And when Cook calls 'What are you doing there?' Griselda bunks
Oh Griselda is greedy That's how she feels She simply can't help eating In-between meals
And she always forgets what it's leading to Though the Doctor has told her 'You know why, don't you?'
And when the stomach-ache starts Griselda says 'Oh!'
And when she slips down to the dining-room when everyone's in bed For cheese-rind on the supper-tray and buttered crusts of bread A biscuit from the biscuit-box and lump sugar from the bowl A gherkin from the pickle-jar, are all Griselda's toll
She tastes the salted almonds And she tries the candied fruits And when Dad shouts 'Who is it down below?' Griselda scoots
Oh Griselda is greedy Her relatives scold And tell her she will sorry When she's old
She will lose her complexion She's sure to grow fat She will spoil her inside Does she know what she's at
Some people are greedy Leave it at that
