Analysis of First Born
Who's a happy baby?
Hunter! Hunter!
Always nodding maybe?
Hunter you!
Who's a little crazy?
Hunter! Hunter!
Never sitting lazy?
Hunter you!
Hunter! Hunter! Never blue!
Hunter! Hunter! Crawling thru!
Who's sometimes crabby?
Hunter! Hunter!
Always really grabby!
Hunter you!
Who's into laughter?
Hunter! Hunter!
Always following after
Hunter, you!
Hunter! Hunter! We love you!
Hunter! Hunter! No matter what you do!
