“A Little Fellow Follows Me
A careful man I want to be;
a little fellow follows me.
I do not dare to go astray,
for fear he’ll go the self-same way.
He thinks that I am big and fine ;
Believes in every word of mine.

This little chap who follows me.
I will always be proud to say that I was one of those little fellows. All seven feet two inches of me.”
