The Lyrics

The adorable little urchins can make a mess of anything ...
1: What child is this- who made a mess-
in Daddy's lap is pee-ing?
Who seems so sweet- when sound asleep,-
but innocent looks are deceiving.

CHORUS A:
Piss, poop,- they do their thing.-
They soon expel- what's taken in.
Waste, waste- out either end.-
A ba-by's output is scary.

2: Who's earned the right- to sleep-filled nights?-
A baby knows no postpon-ing.
And baby brings- such worthless things.-
For what sins are you now atoning?

CHORUS B:
Piss, poop,- it's time for change.-
Who knew your lives would be so rearranged?
Waste, waste- out either end.-
A ba-by's output is scary.

3: When Dad takes care- when Mom's not there,-
it's not really called "babysit-ting".
And watch your back:- a burp attack-
can ruin a sweater from spitting.
CHORUS A:

4: So, Happy Birth-day Number One.-
Can Number Two- be far behind?
Let's celebrate- 'cause you can't wait.-
The smell says that now- it's changing time.
CHORUS B:

You are so mean, yet true by your lyrics that describe the natural, yet unpleasant excretions of these nasty little munchkins. Chorus is funniest, i guess.

And those little urchins/angels are worth every little accident. Well expressed, Mick.
