Does anyone have the lyrics/chords for this song or know where I can go to find them? Any information on the songwriter would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance! Chris

Dear Chris, My name is Paul Duplessis and I'm a musician in Montreal . I just stumbled across your request for info on Baby Burpin Blues. I woke up this morning singing it and went on line to look for an old friend in Florida named Frank Bishop for whom I arranged and recorded the song in 1980-81. If this is the same song you're looking for, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised because it is indeed very catchy !                                                          At one point, Frank's father, Frank Sr., shopped it in Memphis but hit a dead end. I remember a bit of the lyrics, all of the chorus, and the melody. E-mail me if you are still looking for info or call me in Montreal any time at 514-767-8368 , I can probably help fill in the blanks.                                                                                                          Straight ahead, Paul.

DISTURBIN' SUBURBAN BABY-BURPIN' BLUES seems to be in the repertoire of Barry Charlton. He doesn't say anything else about it.

Would you believe that's the only place in the whole Internet I was able to find it mentioned? I even looked for DISTURBING (etc.) and shorter versions, e.g. BABY-BURPIN' BLUES and came up with nothing. Not even Allmusic, BMI, ASCAP, or the US Copyright Office lists it.

Now you'd think with a title like that, the author would want to register it, right?

I have e-mailed Mr Charlton. I'll post if and when.

I actually have a recording of this song made in 1977 at the Ground Round in Norwell, MA. The group that was performing that night was a duo called IW Harper. I am hoping that the members of that group contact me. The duo did not introduce themselves individually (at least on the recording) and my friend Dave and I asked their permission to record them that evening (we had seen them several times at the Ground Round). They gave us permission and I believe we sent them a copy of the recording. In the introduction to the Disturbin', Suburbin', Baby-burpin' Blues they mentioned that it was written by a friend of theirs and that they had recorded it on a "yet to be released" album. I can't find it on the internet and if the Paul and Frank that are mentioned in one of the items in this thread were IW Harper in the 70's I would love to hear from them ([e-mail]).

IW Harper was Tom Hughes and I think Joe Nealy from Cape Cod.Joe was a teacher at I believe Barnstable High. I have a copy recorded at Sandwich Spread Studios - Sandwich Mass. Label says written by Bob Mullaney. For some reason they backed this with " Battle of New Orleans". They had better songs they could have used for B side.
