Mummy keep me safe,
Mummy keep me warm,
And with your loving care,
Help me to be born,
I`m 6 weeks old today
A birthday gift for me,
A pair of bright blue eyes,
which one day I might see.
Already a pair of arms,
And a podgy little nose,
And on the end of my feet
Those things they called toes.
Where are we going today
On a bus, in a bath,
So far away,
Why are you lying down
Being pushed on four wheels,
This doesn`t usually happen,
How funny it feels
Going through the door
Those men in green,
If they hurt you Mummy,
Just run out and scream.
Mummy, mummy
I don`t want to die.
There goes my legs,
My arms and my heart,
Help me mummy
There taking me apart,
Mummy, mummy,
I thought you`d try
But you just lay there,
Watched me die.
