The Little Chap Who Follows Me

“The Little Chap Who Follows Me!”

A careful man I must always be,

a little fellow follows me.
I know I dare not go astray,
for fear he’ll go the self-same way.

I cannot once escape his eyes,

what’er he sees me do he tries.
Like me he says he’s going to be,
this little chap who follows me.

He thinks that I am good and fine,

believes in every word of mine.
The base in me he must not see,
this little chap who follows me.

I must be careful as I go,

through summer sun and winter snow.
Because I am building for the years to be,
this little chap who follows me.

Author unknown; as read by former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden
