“Meg-O Is Preg-O”

Written by Henry and Cathy Hartley
To be sung to the tune of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. The sheet music is available (in D) here.

We heard that Meg-O's pre-e-go, she's going to have a child.
We pray that she will grow up to be sensible and mild.
But if genetics play a part she's certain to be wild.
Oh-oh tidings of diapers and joy, diapers and joy,
oh-oh tidings of diapers and joy.

Oh we know that your babe will be the cutest ever seen.
She'll twist you round her finger and you'll treat her like a queen.
And if that isn't bad enough just wait ‘till she's a teen.
Oh-oh tidings of diapers and joy, diapers and joy,
oh-oh tidings of diapers and joy.

We know the little Beglin really will be a delight.
Except for when she wakes you in the middle of the night.
For feeding and for diaper changes won't that be a sight.
Oh-oh tidings of diapers and joy, diapers and poop,
oh-oh tidings of diapers and joy.

This time next year the Beglin family will have lots of fun.
By then the joys of parenting will only have begun.
We're sure that little baby girl will keep them on the run.
Oh-oh tidings of diapers and joy, diapers and poop,
oh-oh tidings of diapers and joy.

The grandparents are overjoyed, you threw them for a loop.
The relatives will fight for her especially Uncle Luke.
But the will all be very scarce when diapers start to droop.
Oh-oh tidings of diapers and joy, diapers and poop,
oh-oh tidings of diapers and joy.

Now we love Ted and Megan so we wrote this little song.
About the joys of parenthood, so parents sing along.
From carrying her through the night your arms will grow quite strong.
Oh-oh tidings of diapers and joy, diapers and joy,
oh-oh tidings of diapers and joy.
