What Little Boys Are Made Of

What are little boys made of?

What are little boys made of?

Moon and stars and rockets to Mars.

Blast and boom and uppity zoom!

That's what little boys are made of.

What are little boys made of?

Snakes and rats and big jungle cats,

Vines and rocks and razor-tooth crocs!

That's what little boys are made of.

What are little boys made of?

Sticks and stones and skulls and bones,

Ships and sails and oceans and whales!

That's what little boys are made of.

What are little boys made of?

Leap and soar and kick and score,

run and jump and bumpity-thump!

That's what little boys are made of.

What are little boys made of?

Horses and lords and knights with swords,

Wings and tails and dragons with scales!

That's what little boys are made of.

What are little boys made of, made of?

What are little boys made of?

Sugar and spice and everything nice?

Frogs and snails and puppy-dog's tails?

A kiss and a hug, a snuggle and love.

That's what little boys are made of!
