BABY & ME
(E. Ridenour)

What the heck is that?
I’ve never seen one like it
Papa fetch some rope and keep the baby quiet
What the heck is that?
We're gonna need some bait
Momma run fetch that pork chop nobody ate

And the people will come from miles around
And the people will pay two bits to see
No more hand-me-down shoes, no more rolled-up sleeves
For Baby and me

What the heck is that?
I wonder how it breathes
I wonder are there more there up in the trees?
What the heck is that?
I wonder does it bite?
Try to rope it by the tusks and hold on tight

Since the day that that interstate highway
Drained the traffic from the smaller streets
It's been harder than hell just to make ends meet
For Baby and me

And Momma will be busy with the people & the tickets & the lines
And Papa says it’s going to need fresh meat each day
Now I am old enough to count on
Me and my little pellet gun
Rising early every morning
See how the rabbits run, how they run...

What the heck is that?
Papa take your time
Sneak up nice and easy from behind
What the heck is that?
Don't let it get away
A chance like this don't come around every day

Strap molasses and sweet cream butter
Warm woolen mittens in the wintertime
Wood on the fire and hard days far behind
For Baby and me
