Be a baby just a little while
Don’t grow up too fast
Stay young and free and innocent child
Let the sun shine on your face and smile
Live and love and take the chance
Be a baby just a little while
Take the time to be carefree and wild
Pause a minute to smell the flowers
Stay young and free and innocent child
Pretend you’re a princess or Queen of the Nile
Play with your imaginary friends and
Be a baby just a little while
Be nice to your friends; be gentle and mild
Love your mother and dad, but always
Stay young and free and innocent child
Throw your shoes and socks in a pile
Run barefoot through the sprinklers
Be a baby just a little while
Stay young and free and innocent child
