birthday hallelu

Malvina Reynolds

Who's the little whatnot
Came along our way,
Nancy, Nancy, fourteen years today,
Looked around the kitchen,
Thought she'd better stay,
Nancy, Nancy, fourteen years today.

Sing hallelujah and wave the soup tureen,
Hold your hat, hold your specs,
Man the pumps, clear the decks,
Lord knows what will happen next,
Nancy's fourteen!

Landed on the chimney,
Or maybe in the hay,
Nancy, Nancy, fourteen years today,
Looked the family over,
Gave a mild okay,
Nancy, Nancy, fourteen years today.

Sing hallelujah and shake the tambourine,
Watch your clothes, watch your toes,
Here she comes, there she goes,
Where she stops nobody knows,
Nancy's fourteen!

(Other choruses)

Sing hallelujah and wave the other shoe . . . Stevie is two.

Sing hallelujah and bang the garden gate . . . Julie is eight.

Sing hallelujah and shinny up a tree . . . Bobby is three.
