She just got home from the doctor's I just got home from the mill She looked a little peaked, her eyes were kind-a streaked I couldn't figure out what made her ill She looked a little weepish, smiled kinda sheepish The answer hit me like a hickory mall I throwed my dinner bucket down Yelled like my trailin' hound I was gonna be a daddy after all Now the waitin' Anticipatin' Rock-a-bye I'm gonna be a daddy now! Well the weeks went by kinda sweetly, then all at once I thought she'd lost her mind She would rant, she would rave, for the things she would crave Like ice cream and sauerkraut combined She wanted watermelon, it was wintertime Dill pickles set around the house in jars My how she'd eat that stuff, she never seemed to get enough And at 3am she'd want candy bars Oh, Now the waitin' Anticipatin' Rock-a-bye I'm gonna be a daddy now! Well at last the time was drawin' near, I began to walk and pace and sweat The doctor said: Now son, I know this ain't no fun But we ain't never lost a Daddy yet I stood up and set down, I even though of leavin' town The doctor and nurse came out all grins They said: Buck up my boy you should shout with joy, You're the Daddy of a pair of bouncin' twins! No more waitin, anticipatin' rock-a-bye, I'm a Daddy now!
