EA child arrived just the Gother day
ACame to the world in the Eusual way

You Gknow I'm gonna be like Eyou"

The Ecats in the cradle and the Gsilver spoon
Little Gboy blue and a Aman on the moon
EWhen you comin' home son, GI don't know when
DWe'll get together Ethen,
GYou know we'll have a Egood time then
