  Hopsy upsy, Baby oh! Into your bath you now must go; Splash and dash, and paddle and plash, That's what you like, my Baby oh! Where is the sponge for Baby oh? See the silvery fountains flow,— Diamond drops so bright and clear, Falling all over my Baby dear. Now for the soap, my Baby oh! Watch the bubbles that come and go; Rainbow isles in a sea of foam, Reflecting your smiles, they go and come. Here is the towel for Baby oh! Cannot stay in all day, you know; Now scrub and rub, and rub and scrub, And so good-by to the beautiful tub. Now for the shirt, my Baby oh! Soft and warm, and as white as snow. Puffy white petticoats, fluffy white gown; Why, what a great ball of thistle-down! Last come the curls, my Baby oh! Soft as silver they fall and flow. Now toss him up and carry him down, The bonniest Baby in Boston town! |
