Someone Ate The Baby Lyrics - Shel Silverstein

Someone ate the baby it's rather sad to say 

Someone ate the baby so she won't be out to play 

We'll never hear her whiney cry or have to feel if she is dry 

We'll never hear her asking why why why someone ate the baby 

Someone ate the baby it's absolutely clear 

Someone ate the baby cause the baby isn't here 

We'll give away her toys and clothes we'll never have to wipe her nose 

Dad says that's the way it goes someone ate the baby 

Someone ate the baby what a frightful thing to eat 

Someone ate the baby though she wasn't very sweet 

It was a heartless thing to do the policemen haven't got a clue 

I simply can't imagine who would go and (burp) eat the baby
