Here is a snippet from the book:

There’s no place like home (tune: taken from ‘Consider yourself‘ from Oliver!)
Deliver yourself at home!
Deliver yourself, surrounded by family;
contractions will be so strong
we’re sure your labour will not be long.
No need to pack your bags and trundle off to hospital,
meeting people you don’t know;
with all the lights and noise and strangers coming in and out,
labour’s likely to be slow.
If factors of risk are small
and you’re in the best of health,
with confidence and privacy and midwife’s skill,
deliver your babe by yourself!
