JACK-IN-THE-BOX.

I’m Jack-in-the-Box, |
Though Jack’s not my name,
And I’m not in a box;

But it’s nearly the same.

If you shut down the top,

And count one, two, three,
Pop! the lid will fly up,
~ And show Moll, Bob, and mel

Then: we all are quite still—
I hold my arms out,

And if Moll didn’t laugh,
And if Bob wouldn’t shout,

It would really be beautiful.
But now let us stop,
For my arms are so tired |

Vm sure they will drop.
