Parental Song

Parental Song
1806

Go set the bells a-ringing
Yes and fire off the guns:
Blow your trumpets inside out
And bang the biggest drums:
If any one should ask you
The cause of all this Joy
You can tell them I’m the father
Of a bouncing baby boy

Chorus-
‘Tis nice to be a father, ’tis nice to be a father
‘Tis nice to be a parent-
Oh! don’t you wish me joy?

The little boy’s a beauty And isn’t he a size?
They say he’s got his paра’в пове
And his darling mammy’s буев:
Now Mrs Brown declares that he’s
The Image of his pa,
While Mrs Smith maintains that he’s
The picture of his ma

Chorus-
Of course we’re going to celebrate
This very great event,
We’re going to have a bong soiree,
All the invites are sent:
And when the child is christened
We’ll startle all the town:
We’ll name him Marous Antonius
Julius Caesar Brown

Chorus
Ohl the leetle popsy wopsy
The chicky, biddy chum;
He shall have some nicey pisey,
And lots of sugy plum;
And he shall ridey pidey
In the choachy poachy, too
All aroundy parky warky
With the cock-a-doodle-doo
Chorus
