Somehow, this got posted in a thread with a misleading title. Ezio, I hope you don't mind that I moved it here.

WHEEL THE PERAMBULATOR, JOHN

Well, now we've got a baby. What a babe she is!
Her eyes are green. What a queen! We call her pretty Liz.
And every night when I get home, my wife does say to me,
"Get the perambulator, John, and don't go far away."

CHORUS: So wheel the perambulator, John. Wheel it nice and slow.
Don't get riled. Mind the child. Be careful as you go.
When you turn the corner, John, when you cross the road,
Just raise your front wheels up a bit or over goes your load.

Last time I took the baby out, it was in the pram.
I turned the bloomin' thing upside down and I don't know where I am.
I cracked the baby's head and I think I broke her nose,
And now I darn't go home tonight for my fear of my wife Rose. CHORUS

The other night when we went out, we left the baby behind.
I turned and said to my moth, I think you're very kind.
But as we were walking we met Missus Grey,
She had a perambulator and she was going out of way. CHORUS

Well, now we've got a baby. What a baby she is!
Her eyes are green. What a queen! We call her pretty Liz.
And every night when I get home, my wife does say to me,
"Get the perambulator, John, and don't go far away."
