lyrics

I have a blue bow around my neck,
And a string with which you pull me.
I have a blue bow around my neck,
And a string with which you pull me.

You have a yellow bow in your hair,
And a string with which you pull me.
You have a yellow bow in your hair,
And a string with which you pull me.

I have a blue bow around my neck,
And a string with which you pull me.
You have a yellow bow in your hair,
And a string with which you pull me.

Your hands behind your back, my dear,
Hold the string with which you pull me.
Your dress billows when you walk,
And there's a string with which you pull me.

I have a blue bow around my neck,
And a string with which you pull me.
You have a yellow bow in your hair,
And a string with which you pull me.
