Lyrics
The Baby Blues By Marc S. Feingold Friends I stand before you to deliver the news Baby's got a brand new pair of hand-me-down shoes Icky fingers - all covered in goo We're gonna change a million diapers or two We got dem Baby Blues We fell in Love With You We got dem Baby Blues We're staying up all night long 2. Your mama and daddy, can't get no rest Bouncin' with baby from bottle to breast You're putting our parenting skills to the test It seems you are the sheriff and we're under house arrest Chorus 3. With the snip of the scissors we prove you're a boy While all the men grab their crotch and say "Oy" But they say you won't feel it, 'cause here's what we'll do We're gonna pour a little Manischewitz in you Chorus 4. Three in the morning I'm rockin' your crib I'm not really conscious, if I may be so glib Scraping the Gerbers off your hair, face and nose Nibbling while your sibling is counting your toes Chorus #2 We got dem Baby Blues We fell in love with you We got dem Baby Blues We're staying up all night long 5. Blood shot eyes - weak in the knees We'll bib you and burp you and schlurp you and shimmy like fools, if you please Change you every morning - don't you ever have a doubt We'll be here to hug and hold you - till the day you move out We got dem Baby Blues mama - how can we ever lose? Dem Baby Blues, baby, for no other baby but you Copyright © 1997 M. Feingold
