American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
What Shall We Name the Baby? 
Oh! such a tootsie wootsie Was Mrs. Jones' girl, Of all the baby wonders, This baby was the pearl! Its loudest squall was music, And when it said: "Da! da'" "What shall we name the baby?" Exclaimed its happy pa. 
Spoken- " What shall we call it, darling? "said Mrs. Jones. Jones thought awhile, then smiled, and said: "Let's call it "-
Chorus. Seraphina, Concertina, Maudie, Mary Ann, Gushalina, Scarlatina, Roxiana, Fan, Bridget, Susie, Allie, Sallie, Hopzibah, or Nan Pittie, Ittie, mamma's darling, ya! ya! ya! 
Then Mrs. Jones said sweetly: "I'd like to call it, love, Just after my dear mother-The darling little dove!" But Jones frowned very fiercely, And muttered: "After that He would not name the baby, Nor would he name a cat!" 
Spoken- " But, dearest George, " exclaimed Mrs. J. "Madam," replied George, "don't let us perpetuate the mother-in-law. No; its name shall be "-Chorus. 
His wife burst out a-crying, And so did baby, too, And oh! it bawled so loudly, It turned from red to blue. But Jones he stroked his whiskers, A frightful tartar he, And said he'd name the baby, And this its name should be.-Chorus. 
At last Jones he relented, And kissed his darling wife; He said that he'd repented, There'd be an end to strife. The baby smiled serenely, It shook its daddy's hand, And so they named the baby, And had a christening grand. 
Spoken-And this is what they came to the mutual conclusion to call it:-Chorus.
