BA-BY FAY FERN-Y.

Previous
What is this, with blue
Lit-tle shoes, so new—
Cun-ning lit-tle feet,
Trot-ting down the street,
What will mam-ma say?
Ba-by’s run a-way—
Ba-by Fay Fer-ny.
Calls a boy: “Hal-loo!
See here, lit-tle pop-pet show,
Come with me!” No, no,
Ba-by’s do-in’ do
Ba-by’s own self! Fast
Round the cor-ner passed
Ba-by Fay Fer-ny.
Little girl kneeling down
BA-BY FAY FER-NY.

Stops a great big man
Hur-ry-ing all he can:
“Here! what’s this! My!
Dropped down from the sky?
Some-bod-y’s to blame!
Ba-by, what’s your name?”
“Ba-by Fay Fer-ny.”
“Where you go-ing? say!”
“Day-day.” “What’s that, hey?
See the ba-by fidg-et!
What d’you want, you midg-et.”
“Piece o’but-ter-bed,
Su-gy on it, ’las-ses on it,
Jam on it,” said
Ba-by Fay Fer-ny.
Peo-ple pause to see:
La-dies, one, two, three;
A po-lice-man, too;
But no one that knew
Whence the ba-by came.
“What’s your pa-pa’s name?”
“Pa-pa Fay Fer-ny.”
Comes a breath-less maid:
“O dear! I’m a-fraid
Ba-by’s lost and gone—
Ba-by Fer-gu-son!
No—there down the street!
O, you naugh-ty sweet
Ba-by Fay Fer-ny!”
