(GRINNING) FROM EAR TO EAR

It doesn’t seem all that long ago
I was wild and free, I was good to go
It took your momma to settle me down
You’re starting a brand new year
And I’m grinning from ear to ear

I remember the day that you were born
There were friends and family at the labor door
And I was holding your momma’s hand
when she pushed you into the clear
we were grinning from ear to ear

Chorus

I look to the east and I look to the west
But you are the babe that I love the best
You hold my world in your little hands
Patty cake, patty cake, baker’s man

Grandpa Mickey he’s a football fan
And he’s trying to teach you a three point stand
His face lights up as he picks you up
He’s holding you oh so near
And he’s grinning from ear to ear

Chorus II

And he looks to the east and he looks to the west
You are the babe that he loves the best
You hold his world in your little hands
Patty cake, patty cake, baker’s man

Now momma she’s sitting on the couch with me
And you are climbing up upon her knee
She pulls you up and she pulls you in
She’s crying a little tear – but she’s grinning from ear to ear

Chorus III

She looks to the east, she looks to the west
You are the babe that she loves the best
You hold her world in your little hands
Patty cake, patty cake, baker’s man

Everyone’s gathered round the birthday cake
And we sing to you, we celebrate
Grandma’s speaking to you baby talk
Do you understand what you hear?
Cause you’re grinning from ear to ear

Yeah you’re grinning from ear to ear
