I’m bigger than you – I’m seven years old That’s nothing – I’m seven and a half! I’m stronger than you – I’m eight years old That’s nothing – I’m eight and a half! I’m prettier than you – I’m nine years old That’s nothing – I’m nine and a half! I’m cleverer than you – I’m ten and a quarter That’s nothing – I’m ten and a half! If you’re so big, tell Billy he’s slow I can’t today, I’ve got a bad toe If you’re so strong, go on lift this stone! I can’t today, I’ve got a bad… bone He can’t today, he’s got a bad… bone If you’re so pretty, give Johnny a kiss But Johnny is ugly. For shame, I’ll tell Miss! If you’re so clever, what’s three hundred million divided by nine over two? That’s easy peasy lemon squeezy but I’m not telling you!
