Choosing a Name

STOP

PLAY

This is very fast - see if you can sing it!

    

What shall we call her?
Is Elizabeth quite right
Or Susan or Tracy
Oh don't let us fight
I can't imagine Mary
When I see her face
But Georgina or Rebecca
Just seem out of place

Chorus

Jane or a Kate or a Charlotte or Jennifer
Mary-Rose, Audrey or Daisy or May
Jane or a Kate or a Charlotte or Jennifer
Mary-Rose, Audrey or Daisy or May
  ----
So many to choose from
But we've said those before
Through the alphabet from A to Z
There must be some more

Names are always buzzing
Round and round my head,
If we do not get it right,
She may complain when she gets older
And not like her name!

Chorus

Such a tricky job
I never did know,
We could pick it from a hat
And any name could show,
We cannot ask her,
What would she choose?
Such a responsibility
We could win or lose,

Chorus

Oh let's call her darling,
For just one more day!

Elizabeth, Susan, Tracey, Mary, Georgina, Rebecca, Jane, Kate, Charlotte, Jennifer, Mary-Rose, Audrey, Daisy, May
