No father's care

That I'm aware

Have I been cherished by;

No mother's smile

Did e'er beguile

My joyous infancy,

My joyous infancy.

That I'm alive,

And grow and thrive,

I know indeed full well,

But how, alas! it came to pass

I cannot, cannot tell.

No father's care

That I'm aware

Have I been cherished by;

No mother's smile

Did e'er beguile

My joyous infancy,

My joyous infancy.

A father's pinch

Might make me flinch,

As you're no doubt aware;

A mother's tweak

Upon the cheek

Is very hard to bear,

Is very hard to bear;

But harder yet

To owe a debt

To no progenitor,

I would die

Content, if I

Could be accounted for.

No father's care

That I'm aware

Have I been cherished by;

No mother's smile

Did e'er beguile

My joyous infancy,

My joyous infancy.
