NP Holy Translation!

[davemarc]

I gave my love a cherry that had no stone,
I gave my love a chicken that had no bone,
I gave my love a baby and then you'll see
What my lover said when she said to me:

I didn't mind the cherry without the stone,
I didn't mind the chicken without the bone,
But when you give a baby, there's just one thing--
You ought to give at least an engagement ring!

--Allan Sherman (lyrics approximated by d.)
