Subject: RE: Lyr Req: today's the day we give babies away
Hi
My grandfather used to sing whn we were kids quite a long version of the song- that was what I was trying to find when I saw this thread.
todays the day we give babies away with half a pound of tea
You lift up the lid and there is a kid with a written guarantee
there were other verses that followed
isn't it a pity shes only one titty to feed the baby on. The poor litter bugger he couldn't play rugger ( i.e Rugby football) he's not sufficiently strong
tra la la la
then some verse about the queen of all the fairys (which sounds now that I hear it to be some reference to homosexuality- didn't pick up on it as a kid)
will ask my cousin- he used to know all the words and sing it all the time.
