Lyrics
Mommy, Be My Baby
By Susan Salidor ©1996
Mommy, be my baby
Let me hold you close and do the things you do
Oh Mommy, be my baby
And I?ll take care of you!
Sit nicely in your chair, I?ll set the table for two
A fork and knife for me but just a fork for you
Try not to slurp your pasta but don?t mind if I do
Cause Mommies can do lots of things that babies shouldn?t do.
Hold still, I?ll get a cloth and wipe the sauce away
How about some pudding, open wide, now that?s the way!
Next we?ll have a bubble bath and I?ll get in with you
So I can scrub behind your ears just like mommies do
Go pick out a book or two before we go to sleep
I like lots of pictures and flaps where we can peep
I?ll cover you with blankets, fluff the pillow for your head
And I know you get scared so I?ll just hop into your bed
Tomorrow we?ll get up and mosey on downstairs
I?ll make us some oatmeal and slice up a pear
I?ll let you put the sugar in my cup of tea
And you can lick the spoon ? aren?t you glad that I?m your mommy?
