Original text and translations

English text

Never mind the goblins, dear, they’re only make-believe;
The bogeyman is something just invented to deceive;
But it is well to have it very widely understood,
That the trolley car will catch you if you are not very good.

So don’t play tag or ring-around-a-rosy in the street;
Keep close inside the nursery ’tis your only safe retreat,
Give up your romping merriment, as little children should,
For the trolley car will catch you if you are not very good.
