the baby's crawling now, hooray
he's crawled right out the door
we feared we'd never see the day
much time has passed, he's been delayed
we knew not what had laid in store
the baby's crawling now, hooray
with all his faults we couldn't say
if he'd stop lying on the floor
we feared we'd never see the day
and prayed that he would find the way
now mommy has a brand new chore
the baby's crawling now, hooray
she'll have to chase the kid away
from things that cut and bump and more
we feared we'd never see the day
but now we know he'll be okay
he'll crawl and walk and run and more
the baby's crawling now, hooray
we feared we'd never see the day
(C)2008, Christos Rigakos
