Shel Silverstein — Dreadful

Someone ate the baby It's rather said to say Someone ate the baby So she won't be out to play We'll never hear her whiny cry Or have to feel if she is dry We'll never hear her asking "Why" Someone ate the baby Someone ate the baby It is 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 They simply can't imagine who Would go and (burp) eat the baby
