The Lyrics

For a Youtube look and listen of Johnny RIvers on an old Ed Sullivan show of the OS "Baby I Need Your Lovin'" click HERE


(Ooooh ooooh-ooooh ooh oooh-oooh-oooh)
(Ooooh ooooh-ooooh ooh oooh-oooh-oooh)
Babies always need somethin',
Babies don't ball for nothin',

Bestowed with bundle cheer,
What noise at 3:10 hear?
An utter bray, some slumber like,
Sleep gone, he bold, this tyke.
'Cause young he's only.

Baby, you need back rubbin'?
You got that bad gas from grubbin'.
Maybe some bippy suckin',
Back in your crib I'll tuck in.

Ba-bay. There’s a sign of leakness,
down it ran my leg.
That leak, it splattered me,
You didn't mean, you just had to peep,
'Cause baby I'd just love some sleep.

Babies always need somethin',
and they won't put up with nothin'.
Baby, you're always wantin',
Got to be always gruntin'.

Ivory whites,
Let go! There’s pain.
That tooth's just under
Neath the gum against it strains.

Oh yeah, caught a whiff of bile,
Stinks worse than ridden horse,
In a while you shall be, baby,
Re-freshened and re-worshed.

Baby, you can go on way past two,
This crankiness is what I live about you?
Your comeliness, you're quite a baby,
It's your will to so thrive,

Babies, don't plead for nothin',
You have to just get them somethin',
Babies all plead for somethin',
Got to be all or nothin'

Ooooh, I feed you somethin',
Got to have all or nothin'.

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Been there, been there, been there! Thanks Guy! (a most unfortunate misspelling in line 4) 555

you captured the world of babies well...however i think they "BAWL"....not "BALL"

Sir Guy, this parody is very insiteful. Perhaps the above-mentioned spelling error, was due to some subCONscrious desire on your part, Sir?

I cried with laughter... :)

Didn't catch the "ball/bawl" thing on line 4 - they sound the same either way when sung, so no big deal. Though a few lines sacrificed conventional grammar a bit much IMHO for what I'm guessing is syllable perfect rhyming (the YouTube link didn't come out), it was a fun and enjoyable read.

Ag - SHARP EYE my friend. Spell check missed that and I finished this around 1:00AM so I was kind of out of it when I wrote it. I'm surprised that it got any traffic at all. Thanks. Just the same with Ball/Bawl - one causes the other for sure. And I've been there X 3 same as you, Been there, done that and got the tee-shirt spit up on. Thanks.

Thanks Alvin - But as the Ant said they sound the same when you sing them.

LCC - Isn't this the song you wanted me to parody? And not word one about it? Unless I misread the hints you put into comments on other parodies of mine. I am hurt. )-: This one was for you M'Lady. But no, you had to pick on my communicative discrepancies. Thanks for weihging in. =;-)

MrMacphisto - Here's a hanky, but are you sure you cried and not bawled? Thanks!

Mr. Ant - Thank you for your constructive criticism but I always butcher conventional grammar when I write - at least most of the time and especially when doing CCR parodies. The Youtube link looked good in preview but I never test them because it blows everything else off the submission page when you back arrow to it. How 'bout it ChuckyG, can this be fixed? Thanks Ant.

Here is the Youtube link that I intended to show:

It's an old cut from the Ed Sullivan Show way back when.

Yes, I did hope, My lord, that you would parody Mr J.ohnny R. and I did render the appropriate 555's for your ardent effort, Sir Guy. My above comment about spelling was meant to be "risque" not academic, Sir guy.

Many thanks for channeling Johnny Rivers, it always puts me ~High On a Mountain of Love ~ th ebest place to be, don't you agree???

M'lady - I did get the risque ref that you made. Note that the frowny face was followed at the end of the comment with a smiley face. Being that the smiley was the last out says the mood was good. I just thought that you would have made comment that I took your hint and did as M'lady requested. Glad to have done one on a favorite artist of M'lady. At your service M'lady. I do enjoy the banter that we do. THANKS!
