Dirty Face By Shel Silverstein
And from having more fun than you’ve had in years.
I got it from ice cream and wrestling and tears
And eating sweet blackberries right off the vine.
And giving the horrible dog a big hug.
And signing my name in cement with my chin.
I got it from rolling around on the rug
I got it from playing with coal in the bin
I got it from finding a lost silver mine
I got it from peeking into a dark cave
And painting myself like a Navajo brave.
I got it from crawling along in the dirt
Where did you get such a dirty face,
My darling dirty-faced child?
And biting two buttons off Jeremy’s shirt.
And digging for clams in the yard with my nose.
I got it from chewing the roots of a rose
