Baby Shake Down
Baby Shake Down
Baby goes to town with a purse all full of money
Hitchhiking is a lot of fun when you are young
Mommy and daddy are at work all day
Diverted and distracted
Since they’re adults it must be right
Leaving baby to her own devices
They don’t care where their baby goes
The proper way is all they know
According to some logic
The little child is left alone to learn
Changing diapers, making change
While spending every penny at the stores
Baby is not bad
She simply likes to shop
Bandits see the child with the pretty pink laced purse
While stalking her inside the mall
Approach the little girl with candy
They make the swap and make their get away
Baby enjoys the happy snack
The bad men open up the purse
While slipping out of sight
To find a soiled diaper
A prize left there by baby
In exchange for her sweet delight
