I was born at half past 12, almost one in the morning; |
|
I was born at half past one, almost two in the morning. |
|
Now my birthday comes again and i don't know how old i am; |
|
Half past one or two or three, almost 4 in the morning. |
|
I was born at half past four, almost 5 in the morning; |
|
I was born at half past six, almost 7 in the morning; |
|
How old am i, you ask of me? |
|
one year younger than i used to be; |
|
Half past 7, half past 8, half past nine in the morning. |
|
I was born at half past nine, almost ten in the morning; |
|
I was born at 1/2 past ten, almost 'leven in the morning; |
|
Today my age is tweedle |
|
and 'twee i'm prettier than i used to be; |
|
Half past 'leven, half past 'leven, |
|
almost 12 in the morning. |
