Papa has lost his baby
Where has his baby gone

Has she been struggled on!
Papa has lost his babyl
Where can his baby be!
Perhaps some wind has caught her
And whisked her up tree.
Papa has lost his baby
His baby's pretty laugh,
And all that broken prattle,
He understood but half.
What has become of baby?
Does anybody know
What cruel thing induced her
To leave her papa so
Why, she's become lady,
A lady very grand.
With all the airs and graces
OF any in the land.
She don't care any longer
To sit in papa's lap;
Why, she has walked Il fortnight,
And met with no miShap.
She don't want any riding,
To-day, on papa's knee;
To see her teign importance,
You'd think her some grandee.
SO papa's lost his baby
He feels it every hour;
But then you know it's certain
The bud must grow flower,
That's what's become of baby
OF papa's baby dear;
She's grown to be lady,
And it's very, very queer.
