Dance a baby diddy,

Dance a baby diddy,
What can mammy do wid 'e,
But sit in her lap,
And give 'un some pap,
And dance a baby diddy?

b
Smile, my baby bonny,
What will time bring on 'e?
Sorrow and care,
Frowns and gray hair,
So smile, my baby bonmy.

c
Laugh, my baby beauty,
What will time do to ye?
Furrow your cheek,
Wrinkle your neck,
So laugh, my baby beauty.

d
Dance, my baby deary,
Mother will never be weary;
Frolic and play
Now while you may,
So dance, my baby deary.
