Lyrics Be Careful, There's a Baby in the House - Loudon Wainwright III

Be Careful, There's a Baby in the House

Be careful, there’s a baby in the house
And a baby will not be fooled
It’s a thing brand new, does what it wants to
Until you get it schooled
Be careful, there’s a baby in the house
And a baby will play it for real
If your «I love you» is an IOU
Don’t expect to get a good deal
So, look out mama, look out dad
Your bundle of joy will not be had
If the blanket is blue or if the blanket is pink
You’d best watch what you do, you’d best watch what you think
Be careful, there’s a baby in the house
And a baby can spot your schtick
All the coochy-coochy-coo
Is a lot of poo-poo when you spread it on that thick
Be careful, there’s a baby in the house
And a baby is better than smart
It can waddle through all the stuff you do
Never mind your big head start
Be careful, there’s a baby in the house
