Two Little Babes In The Wood - Cole Porter[00:00:00]

There's a tale of two little orphans[00:00:16]

Who were left in their uncle's care[00:00:21]

To be reared and ruled and properly schooled[00:00:24]

Till they grew to be ladies fair[00:00:28]

But oh the luckless pair[00:00:32]

For the uncle he was a cruel trustee[00:00:36]

And he longed to possess their gold[00:00:40]

So he led them hence to a forest dense[00:00:44]

Where he left them to die of cold[00:00:48]

That at least is what we're told[00:00:53]

They were two little babes in the wood[00:00:59]

Two little babes oh so good[00:01:07]

Two little hearts two little heads[00:01:13]

Longed to be home in their two little beds[00:01:20]

So two little birds built a nest[00:01:27]

Where the two little babes went to rest[00:01:31]

While the breeze hovering nigh[00:01:38]

Sang a last lullaby[00:01:42]

To the two little babes in the wood[00:01:46]

They were lying there in the freezing air[00:01:55]

When fortunately there appeared[00:01:58]

A rich old man in a big sedan[00:02:01]

And a very very fancy beard[00:02:03]

He saw those girls and cheered[00:02:06]

Then he drove them down to new york town[00:02:08]

Where he covered them with useful things[00:02:11]

Such as bonds and stocks and paris frocks[00:02:13]

And oriental pearls in strings[00:02:15]

And a showcase full of rings[00:02:18]

Now those two little babes in the wood[00:02:24]

Are the talk of the whole neighbourhood[00:02:31]

For they've too many cars too many clothes[00:02:37]

Too many parties and too many beaus[00:02:43]

They have found that the fountain of youth[00:02:48]

Is a mixture of gin and vermouth[00:02:54]

And the whole town's agreed[00:02:59]

That the last thing in speed[00:03:02]

Is the two little babes in the wood[00:03:05]
