I have been trying to find words to my mother's old songs she sang. I could not find them on this home link page. I managed to find the words. Thought maybe someone else might be interested in this old one.


TAKE IT BACK AND CHANGE IT FOR A BOY

Oh from a nursery creeping, a little boy came peeping,
Shining through a head of golden curls.
Now the funny bundle, such a funny bundle,
'Twas a tiny little baby girl.

They'd gone to town that morning, when the day was dawning,
And mother thought it filled his little heart with joy.
But he only shook his head, and to his mother said:
"Oh gee, I wished that you had bought a boy."

Now can't you take it back and change it for another?
I don't want a baby sister, don't you see,
Cuz I'd rather had a little baby brother,
Who could play a game of ball with me.

For it taint no fun to play with dolls and such things,
And a girl ya know could never fix a toy.
Oh, I'll tell you what to do, if it's all the same to you,
Can't you take it back and change it for a boy?

Now ain't it awful funny? Did it cost much money?
Won't it need an awful lot of care?
That's not a good one, mother. You'll have to get another.
Can't you see it ain't got any hair?

Now don't his teeth come with it? Will his nose grow? Well, will it?
Won't it make an awful lot of noise?
Oh, take it back today, and take it right away,
And get one where they only sell just boys.

Can't you take it back and change it for another?
For I don't want a baby sister, don't you see,
Cuz I'd rather have a little baby brother
Who could play a game of ball with me.

For it ain't no fun to play with dolls and such things,
And a girl ya know could never fix a toy.
So I'll tell you what to do, if it all the all the same to you,
Can't you take it back and change it for a boy?
