Good Morning

Hello, How are You?

What Shall We Do with a Lazy Baby?

What shall we do with a lazy baby?

What shall we do with a lazy baby?

Early in the morning.

Roll her on the bed and tickle all over

Roll her on the bed and tickle all over

Roll her on the bed and tickle all over

Early in the morning.

Heave ho and up she rises,

Heave ho and up she rises,

Heave ho and up she rises,

Early in the morning.
