A Little Fellow Follows Me A careful man I want to be A little fellow follows me; I do not dare to go astray, For fear he'll go the self-same way. I cannot once escape his eyes, whate'er he sees me do, he tries; Like me, he says he's going to be The little chap who follows me. He thinks that I am good and fine, Believes in every word of mine; The base in me he must not see, The little chap who follows me. I must remember as I go,Through summer's sun and winter's snowI'm building for the years to be,That little chap who follows me.
