Paroles de Little shirt my mother made for me

( speck rhodes )
I can't forget the day that i was born was on a cold and frosty winter's morn
The doctor said i was a chubby chap and when the nurse she took me on her lap
Oh she bathed me all over i remember and after powder-puffin' me you see
She put me in the cradle by the window in the little shirt my mother made for me
The first day that i wore my knickerbocks i felt so funny after wearin' smocks
I looked a little picture they did say but when they let me out to run and play
Oh i didn't like the pants that i was wearin' so on the street i took 'em off you see
And i started walkin' home so brave and darin'
In the little shirt my mother made for me
While i was on my holiday upon the briny ocean i did gaze
The water looked so fine i thought i'd go and have a swim but in a minute oh
All the girls on beach at me were starin' and some were takin' pictures i could see
Was a lucky thing for me that i was wearin' the little shirt my mother made for me
