Hey little baby, hey little sugar,
little baby sugar, you been real
quiet lying in the tall grass
lounging like trouble in heat

at night, you seek
to quench your thirst
and quiet the pains of hunger
when my offering is too little

from a high perch, at me, you laugh
and when there is rain
you mark his home as your own

I see you sunbathing
ignoring the drool that gathers
at the corners of your mouth
and I laugh at your willful stubbornness

let me save you, here, here, little baby
come on, lil baby sugar
lemme take you to my place
lemme wipe you down
lemme make you a bed
and share my pillows with you.

Stubborn old man.

one day, sir

yes, I will
yes, I will
yes, I will
persuade you with tuna
and while your pride saunters off
I will laugh.
