I Have a Baby Brother

DESCRIPTION: "I have a baby brother, He's only two months old, He's such a little darling, He's worth his weight in gold, He smiles all day at nothing, He's a dimple on his cheek, I'm sure he'd say he loved me If only he could speak."

NOTES [49 words]: I've never encountered this in print anywhere except in Peirce-KeepTheKettleBoiling, and internet searches didn't turn up anything, and yet this sounds familiar to me. The version I head uses the "I Had a Little Puppy (Pussy Willow, Hot Dog)" tune: one note for each line, going up the scale. - RBW
