Someone ate the baby it's rather sad to say br Someone ate the baby so she won't be out to play br We'll never hear her whiney cry or have to feel if she is dry br We'll never hear her asking why why why someone ate the baby br Someone ate the baby it's absolutely clear br Someone ate the baby cause the baby isn't here br We'll give away her toys and clothes we'll never have to wipe her nose br Dad says that's the way it goes someone ate the baby br Someone ate the baby what a frightful thing to eat br Someone ate the baby though she wasn't very sweet br It was a heartless thing to do the policemen haven't got a clue br I simply can't imagine who would go and (burp) eat the babybr br Sheldon Allan Silversteinbr br
