New Tradition Chorus - Baby Medley

Under the direction of Jay Giallombardo, the New Tradition chorus performs their "Baby Medley" at the Chain o' Lakes Sweet Adelines show in September 1986. The New Tradition is based in Northbrook, Illinois. I filmed this from my TV...sorry for the crappy quality!

LYRICS
My daddy used to say, find a girlie right away
And bring her on home today.

My father was a widower and we lived all alone,
With no one in our home that we could call our own.
But sad to state, I grew to hate that weary, dreary life.
Made up my mind to go and find a loving little wife.

I met a little dear and courted her a year.
And oh what pretty things I used to whisper in her ear.
I used to call her "baby," she seemed like a baby to me.
When she said that we should wed, you bet I was glad.
Then I took her home and introduced her to dad.

That's when I lost my baby, for dad had coin you see.
She never even stopped to say "ta ta,"
Next day she turned around and married Pa.
And just to think, I used to call her "baby"
And now she's a mother to me.

Yes sir, lost my baby, no sir, don't mean maybe,
Dad has got my baby now.
He's got my little baby face,
She's got the cutest little baby face.
There's not another one could take her place, baby face.
I'm alone, forgotten, how could you be so rotten?

I want a girl just like the girl that married dear old dad!

I used to call her "baby," but since she's my mother, oh gee.
Any time she comes along and sits on my knee
She don't seem to have the same attraction for me.

And since she was my baby, it's got me up a tree.
Now when my evening prayers have all been said,
She tucks me in and pats me on the head.

And just to think, I used to call her "baby" and
Now she's a mother to...
I don't want a girl, I don't even need a girl,
I just want my mama!
