We'd complacently sit down,
But we've quit this routine business
Since the baoy came to town.
We used to 20 out driving,
Take in concerts, ano the like;
When the mercury'd climb upward
For 'the shore" we'd make strike;
We'd entertain our neighboss
And friends OF some renown,
But we've only time for "IIow d do?"
Since the baby came to town.
And when the morning sunshine
Comes peepin' IN the room,
A nd the little darling wakens,
With a smile Of heavens bloom;
And she lies there sweetly "cooing"
On her tiny bed of down,
Then we thank our Heavenly Father
That the baby came to town.
