WHEEL THE PERAMBULATOR
As recorded by The Black Family on "The Black Family" (1986)

1. Well, now we've got the baby and what a babe she is!
Her eyes are green; she's quite a queen; we call her pretty Liz,
And every night when I get home, me wife she says to me:
"Get the p'rambulator, John, and don't go far away.

CHORUS: "Wheel the p'rambulator, John; wheel it nice and slow.
Don't get riled; mind the child; careful as you go!
When you turn the corner, John, when you cross the road,
Just cock your front wheels up a bit or over goes your load."

2. Last time I took the baby out, it was in the pram.
I turned the bloomin' thing upside-down; I don't know where I am.
I cracked the baby's head and I took a piece off his nose,
And now I daren't go home again for fear of my wife Rose. CHORUS

3. The other night when we went out, we left the babe behind.
I said to me wife: "I think you're very kind."
But as we were a-walkin' along, we met with Mrs Gray.
She had the perambulator and she was goin' our way. CHORUS

Repeat first verse; CHORUS
