We couldn't find it because we didn't have the correct title, that's why! The title is BECAUSE HIM IS A BABY. It was sung by Patti Page and released as the B side of Mercury 71510: GOODBYE CHARLIE, in September, 1959, according to Billboard magazine. Here's my transcription of another version I heard on Spotify:


BECAUSE HIM IS A BABY
Words and music: Bob Merrill
As sung by Teresa Brewer on "Christmas Favorites," 2011.

CHILD #1, SPOKEN: O Mommy, will you read us a story?
CHILD #2, SPOKEN: from the new book we got for Christmas
CHILD #1, SPOKEN: 'cause we can't read yet.
SINGER, SPOKEN: All right, children; how about this one? The story of a little girl who lost her dolly.

1. A little girl with bows and curls
Kept asking ev'ry lady:
"My dolly's gone; can I walk along
And rock-a-bye your baby?"

CHORUS: Him cannot walk; him can't even talk,
But can I hold him, lady?
Him nose is red; no hair on him head,
Because him is a baby.

2. Him eyes are blue; my doll's were too.
I cry since she's been missin'.
O lady, please, just one little squeeze,
Or could I maybe kiss 'im? CHORUS
