Having a Baby

My mama is having a baby.
My daddy is going crazy.
If it's a girl, I'll give it a curl.
If it's a boy, I'll give it a toy.
If it's twins, I'll wrap it up in toilet tissue,
And throw it on the elevator.
First Floor, STOP.
Second Floor, STOP.
Third Floor, STOP.
Fourth Floor, STOP.
Fifth Floor, STOP.
Now lets clap till our hands get hot.

Submitter comment: This is a rhyme said while playing a clapping game.
