Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHFH AIJIAKAKLMNM ADADDDDDFOFO| Tuggin' at your bottle | A |
| An' it's O you're mighty sweet | B |
| Just a bunch of dimples | C |
| From your top knot to your feet | B |
| Lying there an' gooin' | D |
| In the happiest sort o' way | E |
| Like a rosebud peekin' at me | F |
| In the early hours o' day | E |
| Gloating over goodness | G |
| That you know an' sense an' clutch | H |
| An' smilin' at your daddy | F |
| Who loves you O so much | H |
| - | |
| Tuggin' at your bottle | A |
| As you nestle in your crib | I |
| With your daddy grinnin' at you | J |
| 'Cause you've dribbled on your bib | I |
| An' you gurgle an' you chortle | A |
| Like a brook in early Spring | K |
| An' you kick your pink feet gayly | A |
| An' I think you'd like to sing | K |
| All you wanted was your dinner | L |
| Daddy knew it too you bet | M |
| An' the moment that you got it | N |
| Then you ceased to fuss an' fret | M |
| - | |
| Tuggin' at your bottle | A |
| Not a care excepting when | D |
| You lose the rubber nipple | A |
| But you find it soon again | D |
| An' the gurglin' an' the gooin' | D |
| An' the chortlin' start anew | D |
| An' the kickin' an' the squirmin' | D |
| Show the wondrous joy o' you | D |
| But I'll bet you're not as happy | F |
| At your dinner little tot | O |
| As the weather beaten daddy | F |
| Who is bendin' o'er your cot | O |
