[BJ]  What are little girls made of?
Sugar and spice and everything nice.
That's what little girls are made of.
 

What are little boys made of?
Sticks and snails and puppy dog tails.
That's what little boys are made of.

[SG]  What are little boys made of?
Muscles and mitts and model plane kits.
That's what little boys are made of.
 

What are little girls made of?
Snitches and sneers and a bucket of tears.
That's what little girls are made of.

"old tin cans and frying pans",

"a leftover shoe and a bottle of glue")
