Small electric smiles flit like schizophrenic butterflies.
Pout like church bells, peer up at unfamiliarness, Doe eyes.
A leg is a fortification, but the sun still in shyness shines.
Eventually a tottering acceptance appears, till waving Bye-Byes.

Smile at the Pitter-pat
Careful with the Kitty-Cat
Music timed with Rat-Tat-Tat
Darling, don't grow out of that

Heavy bass, beating hearts, you've got Daddy there.
Soft sobs and jingling laughter all have places in long hair.
Antiquity is the mystery of the shriveled day-old pear,
Brilliance is the light as you're dancing on the chair.

Smile at the Pitter-pat
Careful with the Kitty-Cat
Music timed with Rat-Tat-Tat
Darling, don't grow out of that

Spaghetti bowl, weight in tow, it doesn't matter if you know,
Juice boxes, when you press, make pretty patterns in the snow.
Pacifier makes you drowsy, Humpty is your happy beau,
Clap so hard, feel so deep, so happy with your cheerio.

Smile at the Pitter-pat
Careful with the Kitty-Cat
Music timed with Rat-Tat-Tat
Darling, don't grow out of that
