Little Brand New Baby

Little Brand New Baby
by Tom Paxton

Hey, little brand new baby
Your momma and your daddy think you’re mighty nice
Hey, little brand new baby
I hope you have a mighty nice life

Your daddy’s lookin’ mighty proud
Handin’ out cigars all around the town
Grinnin’ like a possum and I think he’s gonna crow
And I hope you have a mighty nice life

Hey, little brand new baby
Your momma and your daddy think you’re mighty nice
Hey, little brand new baby
I hope you have a mighty nice life

It all lies ahead of you and from this day
It won’t be easy as you travel your way
But here’s to your birth and I just want to say
That I hope you have a mighty nice life
