Lyrics Because Him is a Baby - Teresa Brewer

O Mommy, will you read us a story?
from the new book we got for Christmas
'cause we can't read yet.
All right, children; how about this one? The story of a little girl who lost her dolly.

A little girl with bows and curls
Kept asking ev'ry lady:
"My dolly's gone; can I walk along
And rock-a-bye your baby?"

Him cannot walk; him can't even talk,
But can I hold him, lady?
Him nose is red; no hair on him head,
Because him is a baby.

Him eyes are blue; my doll's were too.
I cry since she's been missin'.
O lady, please, just one little squeeze,
Or could I maybe kiss 'im?

Him cannot walk; him can't even talk,
But can I hold him, lady?
Him nose is red; no hair on him head,
Because him is a baby.
