You're only two and the whole wild world revolves around you,
and nothing happened yet that you might ever wish to forget
It doesn't stay that way, if I could I'd make stay that way
And this you will recall in after years,
though you may weary of this vale of tears -
these days remember, always remember

You're only two and I've no wish to worry you,
so pay no mind to those who say the world is unkind -
that's just something they've read,
and if I could I'd strike them dead
And this you will recall in after years,
though you may weary of this vale of tears -
these days remember, always remember

And honey there's no rush,
the world will wait for you to grow up
And this you will recall in after years,
though you may weary of this vale of tears -
these days remember, always remember

I hope you never change,
I'll call you Jimmy, they call you James;
don't ever change,
I'll call you Jimmy, they call you James
