Take It Back And Change It For A Boy

Take It Back And Change It For A Boy - Rex Allen

From the nursery creepin'

A little boy came peepin'

Shyly peepin' through a golden curl

At a tiny bundle

Such a funny bundle

Was a tiny little baby girl

Came to town that mornin'

As the day was dawnin'

Mother thought would fill his heart with joy

But he shook his little head

And to his Mammy said

Gee I wish that you had bought a boy

Can't you take it back and change it for another

I don't want no little sister don't you see

Cause I'd rather have a little baby brother

Who could play a game of ball with me

For it ain't no fun to play with dolls and such things

A girl you know could never fix a toy

So I'll tell you what to do

If it's just the same with you

Can't you take it back and change it for a boy

Now ain't it awful funny

Did it cost much money

Won't it be an awful lot of care

It teain't a good one Mother

You'll have to get another

Can't you see it hasn't any hair

Don't its teeth come with it

Will its nose grow will it

Don't it make an awful lot of noise

Take it back today take it right away

And buy one where they only sell just boys

Can't you take it back and change it for another

I don't want no little sister don't you see

Cause I'd rather have a little baby brother

Who could play a game of ball with me

It ain't no fun to play with dolls and such things

A girl you know could never fix a toy

So I'll tell you what to do

If it's just the same with you

Can't you take it back and change it for a boy
