Dot Funny Leetle Baby.
Recited by Gus Williams

So help me gracious! every day
I laugh me vild to see der vay
My shmall young baby dries to play-
Dot funny little baby.

Vhen I look of dhem leetle toes,
Und saw dot funny leetle nose,
Und heard de vay dot rooster crows,
I shmile like I vas grasy.

Und vhen I heard der real nice vay,
Dhem peoples to my vife dhey say,
"More like his farder efery day,
I vas so proud like blazes.

Sometimes dcr comes a leetlc shquall
Dot's vhen der viudy vind vill gral,
Right in his leetle shtomack shmall­Dot's too bad for der baby

Und makes him sing at night so shveet,
Und gorrybarric he must ead,
Und I must chumb shbry on my feet.
To help dot leetle baby

He bull my nose und kicks my hair,
Und grawls me offer eferyvhere.
Und shlobbers me-but vot I care?
Dot vas my shmall young baby

Around my head dot leetle arm
Vas schquezin me so nice und varm-
Oh! may dhere nefer coom some harm
To dot shmall leetle baby
