We've got a strange new baby
It's not a bit like me:
It's bald and plump like a shapeless lump
And it smells of poo and pee.
I'm sure it can't be human;
I've never heard it speak -
Well, not in English anyway,
Just "Gaa", and "Boo", and "Eek".
I've heard that evil fairies
Steal human babes at night
And put a changeling in their place-
`Tis not a pretty sight!
And when mum changed its nappy,
This didn't sound so silly
'Cause I could see, as clear as day
This creature had no w... w... (will `ee
excuse me for not saying this rude word!)
But when my best friend told me
The truth, I felt a churl:
'Twas not a changeling after all
But something worse . . .
