Subject: RE: Lyr Req: today's the day we give babies away
And there is always the old song Christening the Baby which concludes:
...The parson held his hand out and demanded £sd
But none of us had got a bob to pay the christening fee.
The parson he got angry and demanded half a quid.
He said 'Who is going to pay me now for all the work I did?'
So just to save an argument we let him keep the kid
And we all went rolling home.
