She's So Afraid

She is afraid she must give up her bottle
She is as anxious as she can be.
She is afraid she must give up her bottle,
She's so afraid that so hungry she'll be!

She is a roly poly holy moly honey bunny sweet bambino,
And she walked for the first time today.
A roly poly holy moly honey bunny sweet bambino
So in her play-pen she'll no longer stay.

She is afraid to give up her loved blankie,
And she drags it wherever she goes.
She is afraid to give up her loved blankie
And so she wrapped it from head to her toes.

From her bottle to her play-pen
From her play-pen to the floor.
From the floor to her loved blankie,
She's no baby any more.
