THE BABY'S DANCE by ANN TAYLOR

First Line: DANCE, LITTLE BABY, DANCE UP HIGH
Last Line: WHILE THE GAY MERRY CORAL GOES DING-A-DING, DING.
Subject(s): BABIES; DANCING & DANCERS; INFANTS;
DANCE, little baby, dance up high:
Never mind, baby, mother is by;
Crow and caper, caper and crow,
There, little baby, there you go;
Up to the ceiling, down to the ground,
Backwards and forwards, round and round:
Then dance, little baby, and mother shall sing,
While the gay merry coral goes ding-a-ding, ding.
