Rhyme Scheme: ABABACACDEAEDFDFAAAA FDADDADAGDGDDDADUp to the ceiling | A |
And down to the floor | B |
Hear him now squealing | A |
And calling for more | B |
Laughing and shouting | A |
'Away up ' he cries | C |
Who could be doubting | A |
The love in his eyes | C |
Heigho my baby | D |
And heigho my son | E |
Up to the ceiling | A |
Is wonderful fun | E |
Bigger than daddy | D |
And bigger than mother | F |
Only a laddie | D |
But bigger than brother | F |
Laughing and crowing | A |
And squirming and wriggling | A |
Cheeks fairly glowing | A |
Now cooing and giggling | A |
Down to the cellar | F |
Then quick as a dart | D |
Up to the ceiling | A |
Brings joy to the heart | D |
Gone is the hurry | D |
The anguish and sting | A |
The heartache and worry | D |
That business cares bring | A |
Gone is the hustle | G |
The clamor for gold | D |
The rush and the bustle | G |
The day's affairs hold | D |
Peace comes to the battered | D |
Old heart of his dad | D |
When 'up to the ceiling' | A |
He plays with his lad | D |
