Shel Silverstein - Someone Ate the Baby lyrics

Someone ate the baby it's rather sad to say Someone ate the baby so she won't be out to play We'll never hear her whiney cry or have to feel if she is dry We'll never hear her asking why why why someone ate the baby Someone ate the baby it's absolutely clear Someone ate the baby cause the baby isn't here We'll give away her toys and clothes we'll never have to wipe her nose Dad says that's the way it goes someone ate the baby Someone ate the baby what a frightful thing to eat Someone ate the baby though she wasn't very sweet It was a heartless thing to do the policemen haven't got a clue I simply can't imagine who would go and (burp) eat the baby
