Lyrics
Phone call came at half past four Run to the hospital, out the door Seven pounds and a little loud cry Hey hey, hey hey, say hi It's a baby, baby, shout hooray It's a baby, dance all day Wave your hands and clap along Welcome to the world, sing the song Daddy's grinning, can't stand still Granddad's dancing on the window sill Auntie's crying happy tears Hey hey, hey hey, cheers It's a baby, baby, shout hooray It's a baby, dance all day Wave your hands and clap along Welcome to the world, sing the song Horns go up, horns go down Little one is the king of town One, two, three, four Here comes the party through the door Tiny socks and a bobble hat Everybody wants to hold the little cat Baby yawns and we all cheer Hey hey, hey hey, she's here It's a baby, baby, shout hooray It's a baby, dance all day Wave your hands and clap along Welcome to the world, sing the song Shout hooray Welcome to the world
