Little man, he smiles at me,
He ain’t got no hair, he ain’t got no teeth,
But he is beautiful indeed,
He is my little man.
Little man, he cries at night,
He don’t know no wrong, he don’t know no right,
And the dark is full of serpent bites,
Oh, watch out, little man.
Watch out.
I can’t always catch you when you fall,
As you grow you’ll see I’m not that tall,
Just the one who loves you most of all,
Oh, little man,
You’re always gonna be my little man.
Always,
Always.
Little man sleeping in a ball,
Who’s the fairest of them all?
I’ll leave the light on in the hall.
I can’t always catch you when you fall,
As you grow you’ll see I’m not that tall,
Just the one who loves you most of all,
Oh, little man,
You’re always gonna be my little man,
Always,
Always,
Always.
Little man, he smiles at me,
He ain’t got no hair, he ain’t got no teeth,
But he is beautiful indeed,
He is my little man.
