I had an extra shot on top of what I'd got

When that baby is a child
D
It will suffer from neglect
Be picked upon and pecked

But while it's inside her
G
It must remain intact
D G
And it cannot be murdered till it's born
Chorus:
C
Rosie Jane, are you pregnant again?
G
Rosie Jane, you can hardly take care
D G
Of the four you had before
C G
What in heaven's name were you thinking of!
D G
Rosie Jane, was it love?
