Thread Name: Lyr Req: Just Kidding (Wootton, Wedlock)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Just Kidding (Fred Wedlock)
And my version has a different bridge verse after the Grandad one, and then a couple of different ones to finish:

And on your honeymoon you couldn't start too soon
Kids they said was heaven's gift to man
But you'd have done a bunk and his nibs would be a monk
If you knew that you'd be bringing up the hordes of Genghis Khan!

You tell 'em how a baby's made ... they'll tell you how it's not!
They've read your naughty magazines and understand the plot
And with Action Man and Cindy they can demonstrate the lot
Just remember, they're only kids.

And now the years have passed and all your little birds have flown
You're off the tranquilizers and it's home sweet home
And then they come and visit you ... with children of their own!
Just remember, they're only kids!

I guess, like the folk process, the song varied over the years. Always gets a laugh though. Vale Fred!
