gradma grunts said a curious thing
boys can whistle but girls must sing
that is what i heard her say, was no longer than yesterday
boys can whistle whoo-whoo-whee
but girls must sing tra-la-la-la-la
boys can whistle oh yes they may
they can whistle the livelong day
why can't girls whistle too pray tell
if they manage to do it well?
grandma grunts said it wouldn't do
and she gave a good reason too
whistling girls and cackling hens
always come to some bad ends
