Baby Blues

I be foolin' 'round the playground; Had my teddy by my side. I be foolin' 'round the playground, When she took me for a ride. Thought I'd always be a swinger; Now I'm goin' down the slide. Gonna rock and roll this morning; Rattle off to shaky town. Gonna rock and roll this morning; Teeter-totter, up and down. When it's time to change my diaper, Gonna dance this mess around. Mama calls me Pretty Baby; Don't know where she's comin' from. Mama calls me Pretty Baby, But I'm playin' deaf and dumb. Makes me wanna hit the bottle ‘steada suckin' on my thumb. Now I’m feelin' kinda thirsty. I be lookin’ at her chest. Now I’m feelin’ kinda thirsty. I be placin’ my request With a question to consider; Which ole nipple tastes the best? Gonna hear a bedtime story 'bout a reindeer on the roof. Gonna hear a bedtime story 'bout a horsey's painted hoof And my very special favorite, Riding Hood Meets Howlin' Woof.
