lyrics

It's such a lovely way to spend an evening
Father and son at home alone
I'd call to ask you when you are returning
If I could only find the telephone
While we banged on homemade drums down in the parlor
My head got stuck inside a coffee can
Leave me here and I will man the baby
But who's gonna baby the man?

I tripped upon a ball and went a-rolling
Right into our lovely chandelier
Junior started laughing just to see me
I told him not to be so cavalier
Then I followed as he toddled to the study
I knocked over several bookshelves as I ran
Leave me here and I will man the baby
But who's gonna baby the man?

As I brushed aside the works of Charles Dickens
I heard our giggling child continue on
I asked the dog if he could tell me kindly
If he'd seen what way our little joy had gone
Fido barked and nodded at the carport
That's when I heard bambino start the van
Leave me here and I will man the baby
But who's gonna baby the man?

I'm so glad you're home now, darling how I've missed you
Though our father son time has been rather nice
I haven't eaten dinner yet, no honey
Though on the stove I started cooking up some rice
What's that? Ah yes, I think it's rather smoky
Must be the flames arising from our frying pan
Leave me here and I will man the baby
But who's gonna baby the man?
Leave me here and I will man the baby
But who's gonna baby the man?
