For All parents of young children.

[Bewlay Bros]

I do have a soft side and I would like to spread the joy of having a young child through this song. The video is naff so I have supplied the lyrics for you to sing along. I doubt many of you realised The Beach Boys wrote such simple beauty.

I wonder if the song is still pertient when they crap a nappy every hour and smear jam on your bestest sofa.

Enjoy.


I love to pick you up
'Cause you're still a baby to me
Cribs and cradles and bottles and toys
Are part of the joys they bring

I wanna wash your face
And change your clothes and button your shoes
Walk you around and wrestle with you
Then I'm gonna make you sing

In the mornin' I could wake you up
Feed you breakfast from a little cup

I want to pick you up
Rock you back and forth and make you smile
I want to hold you close for a while

I wanna tickle your feet
Drop you in your little tub
Wash your body and shampoo your hair
Be careful not to sting your eyes

When it's night I'll put you in your bed
And I'll bend and kiss ya on your head

I want to pick you up
Rock you back and forth and make you smile
I want to hold you close for a while

Pat pat pat pat pat her on her butt butt
She's going to sleep be quiet
Pat pat pat pat pat her on her butt
She's going to sleep
Little baby go to sleep

you getting broody??

[Bewlay Bros]

Can men get broody???

I don't think I'll ever have any myself. But given the fact I am the only child of two only children with no cousins, I guess I will have to keep the gene pool flowing.

Ahh that's lovely, why didn't you mention it on my thread, now was Brian singing on that or was it Dennis, Carl or (deep breath) Mike Love?

[Bewlay Bros]

Dennis sings the verses

Brian sings In the morning...... and In the nightime

Then both on the I want to pick you up bit

And Brian does the pat pat pat bit.

No Carl, Al, Bruce or the great man Mike at all.

Wardy that was so lovely, it made me cry. Thinking of when our daughters when little....

[Bewlay Bros]

I know it is not a widely known song smudgers, but I am surprised no doting mother or father has put the music to a home video of their offspring.

What great snaps you could have in the bath, bedtime, dressing etc.

If I had a child, watch this space!!!!!

[ronnieB]

Minter a daddy? perish the thought...lol.

[smudge]

Briliant idea Wardy. You never know, you may very well have children of your own to cuddle one day, ah! ;o}

[annie0000]

This song is very evocative to parents of growing children - It never fails to make me go and give my kids another cuddle while they are still young enough not to push me away.

Much as you know that one day they will make their own way in the world, you want them to look back and know that they were loved and wanted.

First time ever I saw your face.....................does it for me every time, I couldn't have put my feelings any better for my beautiful baby girls.
