I was a loving baby girl   Mommy, daddy, had I none   Be my mommy, daddy   I will be your loving one      Before the time I knew your face   Dear, I was doing very well   If I never knew your kisses   I'd never known that I'd been in hell      If I had some pennies   I could have a world of fun   Give me all your pennies   I will be your loving one      Once upon a winter time   I lost Christmas in my mind   I looked through all the windows round   To find a star I hadn't found   Then all at once before I knew   Christmas froze my soul in two   A cryful night, I had a dream   And saw a place, I'd never seen      If I had some pennies   I could have a world of fun   Now give me all your pennies   And I will be your loving one      I was a loving baby girl   Mommy, daddy, had I none   Now be my mommy, daddy   I will be your loving one
