Two Little Babes in the Wood |
There’s a tale of two little orphans who |
Were left in their uncle’s care |
To be reared and ruled and properly schooled |
'Til they grew to be ladies fair |
But, oh, the luckless pair |
For the uncle, he was a cruel trustee |
And he longed to possess their gold |
So he led them thence to a forest dense |
Where he left them to die of cold |
That, at least, is what we’re told |
They were two little babes in the wood |
Two little babes, oh so good |
Two little hearts |
Two little heads |
Longed to be home in their two little beds |
So the two little birds built a nest |
Where the two little babes went to rest |
While the breeze, hovering high |
Sang a last lullaby |
To the two little babes in the wood |
They were lying there in the freezing air |
When fortunately there appeared |
A rich old man in a big sedan |
And a very, very fancy beard |
He saw those girls and cheered |
Then he drove them down to New York Town |
Where he covered them with useful things |
Such as bonds and stocks, and Paris frocks |
And oriental pearls in strings |
And a showcase full of rings |
Now, those two little babes in the wood |
Are the talk of the whole neighborhood |
For they’ve too many cars |
Too many clothes |
Too many parties and too many beaus |
They have learned that the fountain of youth |
Is a mixture of gin and vermouth |
And the whole town’s agreed |
That the last thing in sleep |
Is the two little babes in the wood |
