We Didn't Start Out Tired

A very nice song from the Baby Blues book by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott... To the parents out there... enjoy it... I am sure you will agree to the song... Sing it with the tune of Billy Joel's "We didn't start the fire"

Baby powder, baby oil,

Rubber nipples on the boil.

Pacifier, Vaporizer,

Doctor Spock  is back!

Changing table, cotton diapers,

Pampers, huggies, baby wipers,

Midnight feedings, sunrise greeting,

Are we having fun?

Bassinet, layette,

Mastercard just had a fit.

Breast feeding baby gnaws,

Tender nipples, nursing bras.

Soft spot, cradle cap,

Cranky kid, I need a nap!

Housecleaning! Interuptions!

Never gonna get done!

(Chorus)

We didn't start out tired.

But we think that maybe

We can blame the baby.

We didn't start out tired.

It seems diabolic

But it's prob'ly colic.

Tiny fingers, little toes,

Diaper rash and runny nose.

Baby's shrieking, milk is leaking.

Figure is shot!

Playpen in the den,

Baby's sleeping, Amen!

Phone rings, bell dings,

It must be a plot.

Colic, mylicon,

Where the heck is Brazelton?

Camomile, fennel tea,

Double scotch for you and me.

White noise, take a ride,

Vacuum cleaner, all tried!

Zombie eyes, lullabies,

Singing 'till we're cross-eyed!

Chorus

We didn't start out tired.

But we think that maybe

We can blame the baby.

We didn't start out tired.

But for this little one

Our love goes on and

On, and on....
