PEEK-A-BOO! Copyright, 1881, by T. B. Harms & Co. 
On a cold Winter's evening, when business is done, And to your home you retire, What a pleasure it is to have a bright bouncing boy, One whom you love to admire; You hug him, and kiss him, you press him to your heart, What joy to your bosom 'twill bring; Then you place him on the carpet, and you'll hide behind the chair, And to please him you'll commence to sing: 
Chorus. Peek-a-boo! peek-a-boo! come from behind the chair; Peek-a-boo! peek-a-boo! I see you hiding there-Oh! you rascal there. 
Oh, my heart's always light when at home with my wife, There joy and peace ever reign; With my boy on my knee I'm as happy as can be, I never knew care or pain; He's pretty, he's gentle, he's kind and he is good, And everything nice, him I bring; Oh, if he attempts to cry when I am standing by, Just to please him I commence to sing:-Chorus When the sun-shine of youth fades, and age bends us low-Joys, like the birds, flown away; Then the smiles of our children ever brighten the path, Leading where loved ones do stray. The music and laughter we ever love to hear, Will beam like a rainbow in Spring, By the fireside at night, with our hearts so free and light, We will listen while our children sing:-Chorus
