Edgar Guest - The Little Chap
Work rating: Low

DO you know why men dig ditches 
And why others till the soil? 
Do you know why men seek riches, 
And each morn go out to toil? 
It`s because at home there`s waiting 
Till the busy day is through 
Some such sunny, captivating 
Little fellow just like you. 

Do you know why one seeks money
And another tries for fame? 
It`s to pay for bread and honey
For the tot that bears his name. 
Back of everything men tackle,
Back of everything men do 
You will find the merry cackle
Of a little chap like you.

Men have, smiling, gone to battle,
Men have mastered all their fears 
Just because their baby`s prattle
Still was ringing in their ears. 
And when all the fates were smiting
They kept on with purpose true, 
Undiscouraged. They were fighting
For a little chap like you.

So that`s why I care for money,
Why I work the long day through; 
It`s to pay for bread and honey
For a little chap like you. 
Back of each goal I`m pursuing,
Back of everything I do, 
Is the gurgling and the gooing
Of a little chap like you.
