A. My Baby Died
Last night our little baby died
He might have died of suicide
He died I think to spite us
Of spinal meningitis
He was a naughty baby anyway
So we ate him

C. Last Night Our Baby Died
Last night our little baby died
He might have died of suicide
He only died I think to spite us
Of spinal meningitis
He only lived four hours
And cost us forty dollars
He was a nasty baby anyhow.

D. My Baby Died
Spoken: Boys, my baby died last night.
Oh, my baby died
She died of suicide
She died to spite us
Of spinal meningitis
She wasn't a good baby, anyway
So we ate her, yum yum.

E. Our Baby Died Last Night
Our Baby died last night
It lived for 48 hours
And it cost a hundred dollars
It was a lousy baby, anyway.
His head it turned to mush;
It squished between my fingers;
The memory still lingers;
It was a lousy baby, anyway.
Although he tried to bite us
He died for just to spite us
Of spinal meningitis
It was a lousy baby, anyway...
(spoken:) So we ate it.....cold.

F. [Untitled fragment]
"Don't want anything on your brain?"
"Nothin' except my hat, I guess," said Lin, and broke into cheerful song:
"'Twas a nasty baby anyhow,
And it only died to spite us;
'Twas afflicted with the cerebrow
Spinal meningitis!'"
This fragment is from the 1897 book
Lin McLean by Owen Wister.
