[VAL] You're the most beautiful baby In your mother's eyes and mine And every other mother's child is too divine You're very sensible, baby But you've got a lot to learn I appoint myself your teacher And I must be stern All at once Baby starts in toddling And all at once Baby needs no coddling Then soon Knows all the names Of toys and games Discovers duty Beauty All at once Baby needs affection To fall at once In the right direction If baby's wise Baby's eyes Should be able to see All at once Baby's going to lovе me! [BILLIE] All the world's a nursery Wе grow no older through the seven ages We keep our bottles and our bogeymen And little babies are as wise as sages When I was three, I was a siren And knew the old trick Of vamping my dad for a peppermint stick [VAL] At five I was a gangster I'd loot the pantry And give the cream pie a lick [BILLIE] I was a comedian, ha! At six I had a little knack or two I used to practice on my teacher dear And make her sit upon a tack or two [VAL & BILLIE] Now that we've met, we forget our old age We're kids again in the nursery stage [VAL] All at once [BILLIE] Baby starts in toddling [VAL & BILLIE] And all at once [VAL] Baby needs no coddling [VAL & BILLIE] Then soon Knows all the names Of toys and games Discovers duty Beauty [VAL] All at once [BILLIE] Baby needs affection To fall at once [VAL] In the right direction [VAL & BILLIE] If baby's wise Baby's eyes Should be able to see All at once Baby's going to love me!
