Billy's baby brother by John Hetland — Lyrics
Billy's baby brother plays peekaboo, peekaboo, all day long.
Running in and out of any place he can fit his little body,
my little bane.

About Billy's baby brother
John Hetland's Billy's baby brother is a secular canon for four equal voices in English. This lighthearted piece captures the exasperation and amusement of dealing with a boisterous baby sibling. The text describes the endless energy of 'Billy's baby brother' as he plays peekaboo and runs around, humorously posing a threat to the narrator's sanity. The musical setting likely mirrors the text's playful and repetitive nature, with the canon form adding a sense of escalating, perhaps chaotic, energy to the narrative of a very busy toddler.
