The author heard this sung one evening by his four-year-old son in the bathtub and wrote it down and added the title. | Declaration of Independence |
He will just do nothing at all. He will just sit there in the noon-day sun. And when they speak to him;- he will not answer them because he does not wish to And when they tell him to eat his dinner he will just laugh at them, And he will not take his nap Because he does not care to. He will just sit there in the noon-day sun. He will go away-and play with the panda, and when they come to look for him, he will stick them with spears And put them in the garbage and put the cover on And he will not go out in the fresh air nor eat his vegetables And he will grow thin as marble He will just do nothing at all. He will just sit there in the noon-day sun. |
