Take your baby by the hand And make her do a high hand stand Take your baby by the heel And do the next thing that you feel Chorus: We were so in phase In our dance hall days We were cool on craze When I, you, and everyone we knew Could believe, do, and share in what was true Oh, I said Take your baby by the hair And pull her close and there there there Take your baby by the ears And play upon her darkest fears Repeat Chorus So take your baby by the wrist And in her mouth an amethyst And in her eyes two sapphires blue And you need her and she needs you
