Lyrics
Chorus
If they’d baby me now like they babied me then
Oh! how I’d love to be a baby again
When my nurse hugged me I hollered, “Wow! Wow!”
I wish some nurse would try hugging me now
Just imagine the bliss if some beautiful miss
Came to me now and said, “Give Mamma a kiss”
My sweet baby kisses would be all the rage
The women would say, “Ain’t he smart for his age?”
If they’d baby me now like they babied me then
I’d love to be a baby again
Chorus
If they’d baby me now like they babied me then
Oh! how I’d love to be a baby again
Think what would happen if Dora or Pearl
Asked me if I was a boy or a girl
While I sat on her knee I would give her a wink
Point to the bottle and say, “Let’s have a drink”
And while she would straighten my dresses and pins
I’d pet her so much that she’d think I was twins
If they’d baby me now like they babied me then
I’d love to be a baby again
