Take your baby by the hand

And make her do a high handstand

And take your baby by the heel

And do the next thing that you feel

I said

Dance hall days love

Take your baby by the hair

And pull her close and there, there, there

And take your baby by the ears

And play upon her darkest fears

I said

Take your baby by the wrist

And in her mouth an amethyst

And in her eyes two sapphires blue

I said
