Thread Name: Songs for a Naming Ceremony
Subject: Lyr Add: MISS CLARA LOUISE (Rod Shearman)
I actually sang Rod Shearman's Miss Clara Louise which was written for his neice. John the Fish who officiated at the Humanist Naming ceremony has taken the words away with him as he thought it could be used at other naming ceremonies

Hey there young lady, I am pleased to meet you
Hello Miss Clara Louise,
Along with the others met here to greet you
Hello Miss Clara Louise
Your friends and admirers and your relations
Giving you welcome and adulation
All here together for this grand occasion
Hello Miss Clara Louise.

The big moments come, your official appearance,
Hello Miss Clara Louise,
Out from the wings you've made your entrance,
Hello Miss Clara Louise,
We feel the honour seeing your debut
Carrying the day with grace that becomes you,
Doing full credit to the time and the venue
Hello Miss Clara Louise.

Your manner is cute; your demeanour is charming,
Hello Miss Clara Louise,
Your smile is infectious, completely disarming,
Hello Miss Clara Louise,
And believe me you can take it for granted
We're under the spell your blue eyes have planted,
And, one and all, we feel enchanted,
Hello Miss Clara Louise


Aren't you the picture of infant perfection?
Hello Miss Clara Louise,
A miniature person and on reflection,
Hello Miss Clara Louise,
To this crazy world you bring a meaning
The more that I think to me it is seeming
The fruit and the joy of your mum and dad's dreaming
Hello Miss Clara Louise.

I'd have you know we love you dearly
Hello Miss Clara Louise
I'm sure that it's obvious and it shows clearly
Hello Miss Clara Louise
It shows in the faces the cameras will capture
A pose full of pride and dignified stature
Part of the care, the love and the rapture
Hello Miss Clara Louise.

And now in closing we'd like to give you
Hello Miss Clara Louise
Our love and best wishes to have and take with you
Hello Miss Clara Louise
Through the long years your days with joy filling
This thing to you, one and all, we are willing
And that your life is grand and fulfilling
Hello Miss Clara Louise.
Hello Miss Clara Louise.


you can change the name to fit and there are 2 more verses but these were perfect. for a boy it would be easy to change slightly.
