          "Walk a little slower, Daddy"
          Said a little child so small.
          "I'm following in your footsteps,
          And I don't want to fall.

          Sometimes your steps are very fast,
          Sometimes they're hard to see;
          So walk a little slower, Daddy,
          For you are leading me.

          Someday when I'm all grown up,
          You're what I want to be;
          Then I will have a little child
          Who'll want to follow me.

          And I would want to lead just right,
          And know that I was true;
          So, walk a little slower, Daddy,
