Someone Ate the Baby

Someone ate the baby

It's rather sad to say

Someone ate the baby

So she won't be out to playWe'll never hear her whiny cry

Or have to feel if she is dry

We'll never hear her asking, "Why, why, why?"

Someone ate the babySomeone ate the baby

It is absolutely clear

Someone ate the baby

'Cause baby isn't hereWe'll give away her toys and clothes

And we'll never have to wipe her nose

Dad says, "Aah, that's the way it goes,

Someone ate the baby."Someone ate the baby

What an awful thing to eat

Someone ate the baby

Though, though she wasn't very sweetIt was a heartless thing to do

The policemen haven't got a clue

I simply can't imagine who would go and eat the baby
