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
