Everybodys Baby
Everybody's Baby
She was everybody's baby;
Oh it made her proud!
She had ruby lips and platinum hair;
She was bold and she was loud.
She was everybody's baby,
She was everybody's pal;
Boy, she was something!
She was everybody's gal!
She was young and she was pretty;
She had clever things to say.
The world was her dolly,
And she went out to play!
She was everybody's baby;
That nobody would keep.
Then at last she realized
She'd sold her stock to cheap.
Time is a cruel Master;
And the Devil has his Due.
Death comes to everybody;
And some day He'll come for you.
She laughed all our warnings,
And scoffed at gentle ladies;
But there came a time she cursed the day,
She was everybody's baby.
