1
Are we rolling? A one, a two, a three, a four
2
A mother was washing her baby one night
3
The youngest of ten and a delicate mite
4
The mother was poor and the baby was thin
5
'Twas naught but a skeleton covered with skin
6
The mother turned 'round for a soap off the rack
7
She was only a moment but when she turned back
8
Her baby had gone and in anguish she cried
9
"Oh, where has my baby gone?" The angels replied
10
Oh, your baby has gone down the plug hole
11
Oh, your baby has gone down the plug
12
The poor little thing was so skinny and thin
13
He should have been washed in a jug, in a jug
14
Your baby is perfectly happy
15
He won't need a bath anymore
16
He's a-muckin' about with the angels above
17
Not lost but gone before
18
Do you want to do it again?
