THE PRECOCIOUS BABY.
A VERY TRUE TALE.
(To be sung to the Air of the "Whistling Oyster.")
AN elderly person—a prophet, by trade—
With his quips and tips
On withered old lips,
He married a young and a beautiful maid;
The cunning old blade
Though rather decayed,
He married a beautiful, beautiful maid.
