Mommy Redhead
Daddy Longlegs
and Baby Billy
went to a ball game
Someone hit
a grand slam
You could hear
almost everyone cheer
Ten people
spilled their beer
Baby Billy
pointed to a bird
Someone stole third
The rally monkey
danced the bugaloo
Mommy Redhead
headed for the loo
Daddy Longlegs
danced with a kazoo
The home team won
10-2
The game ended
with a prayer
led by Someone
—the Most Valuable Player—
Everyone went home happy
(Almost everyone)
Baby Billy had
a mustard stain
on his bib
