Babies' Chorus
Babies' Chorus
Boo, hoo, hoo. We want um milk,
But Massey's let the pwice get so high,
And Johnny Luke's wunning a short supply,
And the wailway's stwuck, and we want to cwy.
Boo, hoo, hoo.
How we love all nice M.P.'s,
'Cos dey wash dere hands and knees,
And answer, "Fank o," "If oo please,"
But we're fwightened when dey sneeze.
Does oo know dere latest wheeze?
Nursie's hand dey want to squeeze,
But nursie says oo mustn't tease—
Nasty, naughty, bold M.P.'s.
(Blubber—the useful product of a dead whale, the useless product of a live baby.)
Boo, hoo, hoo. Boo, hoo-oo, hoo.
Bubba wants to get out of um pwam;
Put bubba to bye-bye quick as oo can,
Bubba so sleepy. Oh, nursie, oh—
Boo, hoo, hoo.
