 Lesson VII.
 BABY BYE 
 
1.
 Baby Bye,
 Here's a fly;
 We will watch him, you and I.
      How he crawls
      Up the walls,
      Yet he never falls!
 I believe with six such legs
 You and I could walk on eggs.
      There he goes
      On his toes,
      Tickling Baby's nose.
 2.
 Spots of red
 Dot his head;
 Rainbows on his back are spread;
      That small speck
      Is his neck;
      See him nod and beck!
 I can show you, if you choose,
 Where to look to find his shoes,
      Three small pairs,
      Made of hairs;
      These he always wears.
 3.
 Flies can see
 More than we;
 So how bright their eyes must be!
      Little fly,
      Ope your eye;
      Spiders are near by.
 For a secret I can tell,
 Spiders never use flies well;
      Then away,
      Do not stay.
      Little fly, good day.
