From: GUEST,Lyle I am trying to find lyrics to an old, old song that contains the line, "instead of feeding paregoric to some kid who's got the colic, I might have been a dancer in a ballet." Is this recognizable to anyone?? Thanks in advance, Lyle |

From: Joe_F It is conceivable that the following is another fragment (sung, like everything else, to the tune of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic"): When the baby gets a colic in the middle of the night, And you hunt the paregoric and you can't find the light... |

I believe it was from somewhere in the late 1800's, but I'm not sure. I've looked at all tho old sheet music places I can find, but nothing yet. The tune is of a style that would be similar to that era. Lyle |
