Here's one ... I tried to get every family member's name in it...

DADDY'S DARLIN' DEAR
(Al Boyce©)
Tune: Where The Praties Grow

Caitlin Clare, oh where's your hair,
And where's your nose and eyes?
Oh where does baby's bonnet go,
And can you show your size?
Oh will you give Papa a hug,
Or pat your Momma's hand?
Sure, you are the brightest baby
In the Boyceterous family band!

The telephone is ringin', Kate,
You'd better say "Hello!"
And crawl to see who's at the door,
Sure it's Tim and Bridget Coe!
Show Auntie Bea just how you eat
Potato chips so fine -
But for corned beef and cabbage
It's the Irish way to dine!

Can you "Peek-a-Boo" with Grandma Max,
Do you flirt with Grandpa Al?
Jump your little horse to Dublin town,
And you're Grandpa Tom's wee pal!
Can you "Pat-a-Cake" with Eileen
Or with your Graet-Grandma Mae,
Or fall asleep deep in the arms
Of the "Beat-Up" Gram today?

You love to tease your Uncle Steve,
And Auntie Val that's true.
You share your toys with cousins
Jess and Josh and Julie, too.
Joanna, Auntie Kit and Matthew
Miss you and your Mom.
And Auntie Cath loves no one more
('Cept for maybe Uncle Tom!)

With a smile as wide as all outdoors
You grin from ear to ear!
You're a miniature marvel,
You are Daddy's darlin' dear.
I love you Caitlin Clare, my little
Punkin' seed surprise,
Sure you are the finest apples
Of the both o' your father's eyes!
