THE BABY CHANGING SONG words and music by Shellen Lubin It's time to change the baby What shall I change you into today? Would you like to be an elephant, huge and grey And when you tramped all over your trunk would sway? But you'd have to live in Africa instead of here with me So I guess you're better off this way. It's time to change the baby What shall I change you into this time out? Would you like to be an aardvark, thick-skinned and stout With a long sticky tongue and a long hairy snout? But you'd have to eat ants instead of mommy's milk So you're better off a baby no doubt. Should I change you into a penguin? No, tuxedos get too hot! Should I change you into a puppy dog? No, housebroken's one thing you are not! It's time to change the baby What's there to be that you think you could? Would you like to be a statue of stone or wood Of Moses, or Diana, or Robin Hood? But you'd have to stand still for all eternity So I guess you'll be a baby for good. (Sometimes I wish you'd be a baby for good!) Should I change you into a teddy bear? No, you've already got one on your shelf! Should I change you into a monster? No, you do that quite well yourself! It's time to change the baby As I've changed you time and time again And will do a few more years 'til when You're closer to who you're going to be; But as many times as I change you I'll never change you as much As you've changed me! © 1986 Bondrov Music |
