A big hand for...

What are your hands doing, darling?
You're awfully puzzled - what's up?
Ah - it's finally coming together,
And you're learning at last how to clap!

That one worked - and that one - and that one -
But now you've your fingers all bent
And there's no noise as they're coming together
And your patience is just about spent

But just as the wailing's about to begin
A sudden, mysterious noise
Like the sound of applause
From those delicate paws
And the infant's regaining her poise.

All the good things!

Straight back
Straight feet
Straight neck
Straight toes

Round arms
Round cheeks
Round legs
Round nose

Warm hands
Warm skin
Warm cuddle
Baby's in

A momentary aberration

Sometimes its hard to be a baba
Getting all your love from just one mam
You'll have bad times
And she'll have loud times
Doing things that you don't understand
But if you love her you'll forgive her
Even though she's hard to understand
And if you love her
Oh be proud of her
'Cause after all she's just a mam

Stand on your mam
Give her two arms to cling to
And someone small to sing to
When you are cold and lonely
Stand on your mam
And tell the world you're hungry
Keep taking all the love you can
Stand on your mam
