Oh, baby blankets and baby shoes, baby slippers, baby spoons,walls of
baby blue

I eat for two, walk for two,breathe for two now

Well, the egg man fell down off his shelf. All the good kings men
with all their help struggled 'til the end for a shell they couldn't

I eat for two, walk for two, breathe for two now
Eat for two, walk for two, breathe for two now

Eat for two,walk for two, breathe for two now
