Richard Rodgers
Baby’s Awake Now
Baby's awake now
Baby can do things
Ready to shake her chassis
Baby has new springs
Baby can learn how
Baby can dance rings
'Round every other lassie
Baby can do things

Her deportment isn't so mild
Mammy, get your wandering wild child
Beat on a big drum
She's making her bow
Burn up the baby's cradle
Baby's awake now

Out of the ether, into the air
Baby opens her eyes and cries
"Let the party start again!"
Powders her nose and fixes her hair
Sees how the landscape lies and sighs
"Bring your baby all the mеn,"
And then, out where thе wild gardenias grow
Baby has got her chance
So let her dance
Her deportment isn't so mild
Mammy, get your wandering wild child
Beat on a big drum
She's making her bow
Burn up the baby's cradle
Baby's awake now

Burn up the baby's cradle
Baby's awake now
