I've a little black dolly named Topsy Who doesn't like sleeping alone, For Topsy's afraid of white bogies Though I’m perfectly sure there are none But Topsy is only a dolly And frightened as frightened can be So I just tuck her under my pillow For I know she likes sleeping with me. And when the I wake up in the morning I sing til I think she's awake. Then I take her right out in the garden And give her a bath in the lake. But Topsy is blacker than ever And shiny as shiny can be. Though I wash her and wash her and wash her, I can't get her white like me.
