I'm A Little Prairie Flower 1937

Why was I born so beautiful?
Why was I born so small?
Why was I born so beautiful
why was I born at all?

Oh!

I'm a little prairie flower
growing wilder ev'ry hour,
nobody cares so cultivate me,
so I'm as wild as wild can be.
I'm as wild as wild can be.

My wildness is a thing to which
there seems to be no stop:
Last night I smacked a jolly just
to hear the thing go flop.

Oh!

I'm a little prairie flower
growing wilder ev'ry hour,
nobody cares so cultivate me,
so I'm as wild as wild can be.
I'm as wild as wild can be.

Away from two big hooligans,
today I had to dash:
I hid behind some broken glass
and whispered, "Crash crash crash!"

Oh!

I'm a little prairie flower
growing wilder ev'ry hour,
nobody cares so cultivate me,
so I'm as wild as wild can be.
I'm as wild as wild can be.

On rainy days I seem to get
into all kinds of muddles
I get so wild I walk and stamp
about in all the puddles.

Oh!

I'm a little prairie flower
growing wilder ev'ry hour,
nobody cares so cultivate me,
so I'm as wild as wild can be.
I'm as wild as wild can be.
