A man in sleeping clothes stands in front of his baby in a chair. His wife sleeps in the bed behind him. |
| Notes |
You poor molly-coddling spooney fool, / This is a picture true to life, / Showing you in your shirt, so cool / With your baby,
while calmly sleeps your wife. / But you are just served right in that, / The only one we pity, is the blessed baby: / And
if I was your wife, -- I tell you, flat, -- / You would get something worse, you stupid gaby.
