Tender shepherd
Tender shepherd
Let me help you hold your sheep
One in the meadow
Two in the garden
Three in the nursery
Fast asleep...

Will you treat me with respect?
(Yes, sir!)
Let me have a little peace and quiet?

(We will always try to be so quiet
Quieter than mice!)

Oh wouldn't that be nice!

We will grow up
(They will grow up)
We will mind the P's and Q's
(They will mind the P's and Q's)
We will never be a bother
(They will never be a bother
And we'll always shine your shoes)
Oh do think of all those shoes!
???
We trying to grow up
Trying to grow up,
Trying to grow up
Like me,
Like I,
Like me.
