Advice: Be Careful There's A Baby In The House

Loudon Wainwright III: Be Careful There's A Baby In The House

[purchase]

This song was originally featured on Loudon's second album, Album II. I don't have that recording anymore. This live performance is from his BBC Sessions CD. It's a better version, though, so it's OK with me.

I'm a parent, and I'm telling you Loudon knows what he's talking about. You just can't fool a baby.

"Look out Mamma and look out Dad. Your bundle of joy will not be had.  If the blanket is blue, or if the blanket is pink, you best watch what you do, you best watch what you think."

"Be careful, there's a baby in the house, and a baby can spot your shtick."
