No. 3 - Knitting Sextet
| Orphans: | We are little orphans, you can tell us at a glance, Lively we intend to be when once we get a chance. We are never idle as we walk about the street, Little fingers always moving with our little feet, Socks or stockings we can make, Mittens too we undertake. |
| Girls: | Then it's drop a stitch and pick one up again
as quickly as you can, P'raps it is a stocking knitted with a clocking, To be given to your best young man. Then it's drop a stitch and pick one up again as quickly as you can, |
| 1st. Sopranos: | Stitches there are many, |
| 2nd. Sopranos: | We can manage any, |
| 1st. Sopranos: | P'raps it is a plain stitch, |
| 2nd. Sopranos: | Cross or even chain stitch, |
| All: | We must learn to knit, knit, knit, knit, knit, knit. Then it's drop a stitch and pick one up again as quickly as you can, If you learn to knit, knit, Just a little bit, bit, You will have a stocking for your best young man. |
| Orphans: | When at school in Amsterdam we're very good always, Yet, somehow, we're diff'rent now we're on our holidays, But altho' we're full of fun and playful as a turk, Still in spite of all this, we do not neglect our work, Knitting comforters or ties, Any shape or any size. |
| Girls: | Then it's drop a stitch and pick one up again
as quickly as you can, P'raps it is a stocking knitted with a clocking, To be given to your best young man. Then it's drop a stitch and pick one up again as quickly as you can, |
| 1st. Sopranos: | Stitches there are many, |
| 2nd. Sopranos: | We can manage any, |
| 1st. Sopranos: | P'raps it is a plain stitch, |
| 2nd. Sopranos: | Cross or even chain stitch, |
| All: | We must learn to knit, knit, knit, knit, knit, knit. Then it's drop a stitch and pick one up again as quickly as you can, If you learn to knit, knit, Just a little bit, bit, You will have a stocking for your best young man. |
