Come, Baby, come --
it's so easy when you're used to it,
Come, Baby, come --
it's so easy when you're used to it,
but dumb, Baby, dumb --
if it's on your tongue you're chewing it.

Toes, Baby, toes --
it had baby toes when it was born;
and nose, Baby, nose --
every baby knows the same sad song.

So come, Baby, come --
it gets easier when you're used to it.
But numb, Baby, numb --
because all your life you're chewing it.

Stunned, Baby, stunned --
right between her eyes, they're stewing it;
and done, Baby, done --
in the abattoirs they're doing it.

So come, Baby, come --
it goes down easier when you're used to it.
But none, Baby, none --
I have found not one thing true in it.

Once in your life, you got sick, but it didn't change your mind.
Twice, you didn't like it, but your mama told you it was monkey,
and you came down ‘cause you thought it was funny,
mama told you it was monkey, but Baby, it's not funny anymore.

So come, Baby, come --
take my hand and we are through with it.
