Lyrics
0:08Little boy how old are you
0:18Little boy how old are you
0:27Little boy how old are you
0:36Well I'm only twelve years old
0:47This little boy as you remember
0:51Was born on the 25th of December
0:56The lawyers and doctors were amazed
1:00And had to give this little boy a praise
1:05The lawyers and doctors stood and wondered
1:10As though they had been struck by thunder
1:14And they decided as they wondered
1:18That all mankind must come undone
1:23Little boy how old are you
1:33Little boy how old are you
1:42Little boy how old are you
1:50Well I'm only twelve years old
2:00Well this little boy had the key
2:05To the hidden mystery
2:10The lawyers decided as wise as he
2:14We'd better let that little boy be
2:19The last time this little boy was seen
2:23He was standing on Mount Olive at Green
2:28When he dispersed of the crowd
2:32He entered up into a cloud
2:38Little boy how old are you
2:48Little boy how old are you
2:56Little boy how old are you
3:05Well I'm only twelve years old
Little boy how old are you Little boy how old are you Little boy how old are you Well I'm only twelve years old This little boy as you remember Was born on the 25th of December The lawyers and doctors were amazed And had to give this little boy a praise The lawyers and doctors stood and wondered As though they had been struck by thunder And they decided as they wondered That all mankind must come undone Little boy how old are you Little boy how old are you Little boy how old are you Well I'm only twelve years old Well this little boy had the key To the hidden mystery The lawyers decided as wise as he We'd better let that little boy be The last time this little boy was seen He was standing on Mount Olive at Green When he dispersed of the crowd He entered up into a cloud Little boy how old are you Little boy how old are you Little boy how old are you Well I'm only twelve years old
