I love it! A baby with no end, and NO diapers! I was under the impression that "Captain Wedderburn's Courtship" was the early version of this song, except his prize for answering the questions was to take her to bed and she'd sleep next to the wall. In that song, the impossible riddles are posed by the young lady and meant to keep him from his goal, since she didn't think he could answer the riddles. He does.
