Lyrics & Melody by Alice C. Bateman VERSE 1 There's a little baby girl on my hip And a young boy over there, just a slip A small boy who will grow into a man Better hug them now, while I can VERSE 2 In a short time they'll be pushing me away Saying Mommy, we want to run and play Our friends have all gone down to Johnnie's place Come on, Sis, come on, let's have a race VERSE 3 Their teenage years will be here in a flash Then it's, Hey Mom, have you got some cash And by the way can we take out the car The party where we're going's pretty far VERSE 4 Our children grow so fast, we stay the same Just trying hard to keep pace with the game And one fine day when we are old and grey We'll think about the way things are today REPEAT VERSE 1 There's a little baby girl on my hip And a young boy over there, just a slip A small boy who will grow into a man Better hug them now, while I can REPRISE A small boy who will grow into a man Better hug them now, while I can FADE Better hug them now, while I can © 1987-2010  Alice C.
