This book begins with Goldilocks taking a walk and exploring inside the bears' house, following melody in London Bridge is Falling Down. She just wanted to see inside, This curious child Just wanted a peek. She just wanted to see inside, And tried the door knob. When three bears appear, they enter with the melody in Row, Row, Row, Your Boat. Here, here, here they come, After a good roam, Happily, huskily, hungrily, hastily, Three bears going home. And the story ends with melody and lamenting lyrics like in My Darlin' Clementine. Oh, now darlin, oh now darlin, oh now darlin, Goldilocks, You went some place you shouldn t otta; dreadful sorry, Goldilocks.
