Lyrics:
Little child, little child
Little child, won't you dance with me?
I'm so sad and lonely
Baby, take a chance with me
Little child, little child
Little child, won't you dance with me?
Little child, little child
Little child, won't you dance with me?
I'm so sad and lonely
Baby, take a chance with me
Little child, little child
Little child, won't you dance with me?
Take everything easy
Show me a smile
It doesn't take much to please me
My little child
Shine me a light from your eyes dear
Don't let me see a single tear
Take everything easy
Show me a smile
Soon you'll be a man
My little one
So have fun while you can
Or there'll be none
Everything's going fast around you
There will be things to astound you
You'll be a man in no time
My little one
So take everything easy
Show me a smile
It doesn't take much to please me
My little child
Shine me a light from your eyes dear
Don't let me see a single tear
Take everything easy
Show me a smile
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Take everything easy
Show me a smile
It doesn't take much to please me
My little child
Shine me a light from your eyes dear
Don't let me see a single tear
Take everything easy
Show me a smile
Soon you'll be a man
My little one
So have fun while you can
Or there'll be none
Everything's going fast around you
There will be things to astound you
You'll be a man in no time
My little one
So take everything easy
Show me a smile
It doesn't take much to please me
My little child
Shine me a light from your eyes dear
Don't let me see a single tear
Take everything easy
Show me a smile
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
I was sitting in the classroom
Trying to look intelligent
In case the teacher looked at me
She was long and she was lean
She's a middle-aged dream
And that lady means the whole world to me
It's a natural achievement
Conquering my homework
With her image pounding in my brain
She's an inspiration
For my graduation
And she helps to keep the classroom sane
Oh teacher I need you like a little child
You got something in you to drive a schoolboy wild
You give me education in the lovesick blues
Help me get straight, come out and say
Teacher I, teacher I, teacher I, teacher I need you
I have to write a letter
Tell about my feelings
Just to let her know the scene
Focus my attention
On some further education
In connection with the birdies and the bees
So I'm sitting in the classroom
I'm looking like a zombie
I'm waiting for the bell to ring
I've got John Wayne stances
I've got Erroll Flynn advances
And it doesn't mean a doggone thing
Oh teacher I need you like a little child
You got something in you to drive a schoolboy wild
You give me education in the lovesick blues
Help me get straight, come out and say
Teacher I, teacher I, teacher I, teacher I need you
Oh teacher I need you like a little child
You got something in you to drive a schoolboy wild
You give me education in the lovesick blues
Help me get straight, come out and say
Teacher I, teacher I, teacher I, teacher I need you
Away in a manger, no crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay
Mary was that mother, mine
Jesus Christ, her little child
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, come down from the sky
And stay by my bedside 'til morning is nigh
Mary was that mother, mine
Jesus Christ, her little child
Mary was that mother, mine
Jesus Christ, her little, little child
The stars in the bright sky look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay
Mary was that mother, mine
Jesus Christ, little child
Mary was that mother, mine
Jesus Christ, her little child
Mary was that mother, mine
Jesus Christ, her little child
Mary was that mother, mine
Jesus Christ, her little child
I'm suppressing the tears, but they start to flow
'Cause the next song I hear is the song I wrote
When we first got together early that September
I can't bear to listen so I might as well drift
In the kitchen pour another glass or two and try to forget you (ya know, ya know)
Late at night like a little child
Wandering around alone in my new friend's home
On my tippy toes, so that he won't know
I still cry baby over you and me (Baby don't cry)
Baby here me when I say
Let that man be on his way
Don't even waste your time and worry 'bout how he handle things
Baby here me when I say
A playa feeling good today
You know you're too fly to even waste your time
Watch how I handle things
Man you's a fool for this
But on the real dog I'm cool with this
We doing this
D-o double G Z-Y
Kiss the girls and make them cry
Late at night like a little child (I'm like a little child) (dry your eyes)
Wandering around alone in my new friend's home (nah baby don't cry)
On my tippy toes, so that he won't know (baby don't cry)
I still cry baby over you and me (dry your eyes)
Late at night like a little child (why is it bothering him and why ?)
Little child of mine
You'll be lovin' like your little mother did
Heard it somewhere before
I won't leave you, no, not like my father did
Heavy country blues keep a rockin'
K-k-k-keep that soul beat a-sockin'
Heavy country blues keep a rockin'
K-k-k-keep that soul beat a-sockin'
I miss you again
I let the sunlight through my eyes
I won't cry
I miss you again
I let the sunlight through my eyes
I won't cry
Little child of mine
You'll be lovin' like your little mother did
Heard it somewhere before
I won't leave you, no, not like my father did
Heavy country blues keep a rockin'
K-k-k-keep that soul beat a-sockin'
Heavy country blues keep a rockin'
K-k-k-keep that soul beat a-sockin'
I miss you again
I let the sunlight through my eyes
I won't cry
I miss you again
I let the sunlight through my eyes
I won't cry
I miss you again
I let the sunlight through my eyes
I won't cry
As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
And his mama cries
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
People, don't you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day?
Little child of mine
You'll be lovin' like your little mother did

I let the sunlight through my eyes
I won't cry
Lullay, thou little tiny child, by, by, lully, lullay.
Lullay, thou little tiny child, by, by, lully, lullay.
O sisters too, how may we do, for to preserve this day,
This poor youngling for whom we sing, by, by, lully, lullay.
Look around, 'round ('round, 'round, 'round)
('Round, 'round, 'round, 'round, 'round)
Look around, 'round, 'round ('round, 'round)
('Round, 'round, 'round, 'round, 'round)
Look around (ahh)
Dear Prudence, let me see you smile
Dear Prudence, like a little child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again
Dear Prudence, won't you let me see you smile?
There's a little child
Running round this house
And he never leaves
He will never leave
And the fog comes up from the sewers
And glows
In
The dark
Baby alligators
In the sewers
Grow up fast
Grow up fast
Anything you want, it can be done
How
How did you go bad?
Bye, bye, thou little tiny child. Bye, bye, lullee lullay.
Bye, bye, thou little tiny child. Bye, bye, lullee lullay.
There's a little child
Running 'round this house
And he never leaves
He will never leave
And the fog comes up from the sewers
And glows in the dark
Baby alligators in the sewers grow up fast
Grow up fast
Anything you want it can be done
How, how did you go bad?
Look around, 'round ('round, 'round, 'round)
('Round, 'round, 'round, 'round, 'round)
Look around, 'round, 'round ('round, 'round)
('Round, 'round, 'round, 'round, 'round)
Look around (ahh)
Dear Prudence, let me see you smile
Dear Prudence, like a little child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again
Dear Prudence, won't you let me see you smile?

A mother tonight is rocking a cradle in Bethlehem.
"A little child shall lead them," the prophets said of old.
In storm and tempest keep 'em until the bells is tolled.
I took each word she said as gospel truth
The way a silly little child would
I can't excuse it on the grounds of youth
I was no babe in the wild, wild wood
She didn't mean it
I should have seen it
But now it's too late
I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams
Now it seems this is how the story ends
She's gonna turn me down and say
"Can't we be friends?"
Lully, lullay, thow little tyne Child...
A mother tonight is rocking a cradle in Bethlehem.
"A little child shall lead them," the prophets said of old.
In storm and tempest keep 'em until the bells is tolled.
