1. W hen cherries grow on apple trees,

And kittens wear lace caps,

And boys their sisters never tease,

And bears wear woolen wraps;

When all the nursery dolls and toys

Begin to dance and play,

Then little girls and little boys

May lie in bed all day.

2. W hen donkeys learn to sing and dance,

When pigs talk politics,

When London is a town in France,

When two and two make six,

When drops of rain are real pearls,

When coal is clear and white,

Then little boys and little girls

May sit up late at night.
