Bringing Up BabyLittle baby, standing at the window cryingMama, I don't wanna go out there There's so many wild girls in here It's a cotton wool world One of these days you're gonna look back on this time At barbie dolls who always smile Old teddy bears stood up in a line Mickey mouse club generation it's your time Papa, what are we becoming? Do I have to go along with all this calculation? Help me, where's the medication? Sometimes you're gonna look back on this day That changed your life in a positive way Headlines cry out, bring to national attention Little girl saved by rock and roll intervention Oh can it be? Every day is a new revelation Growing up's tough when you're ever so impatient Baby, standing at the window Wondering, where does everyday go? Moments snap like a photograph Baby you're growing up so fast Cartoons, e-mail, mobile phones Boys come around now she's leaving home You're sad for a while then you start to glow She's gotta rock and roll playing on the car radio But oh can it be? Baby boomers look at your kids They throw away nearly everything you wanna give Reject you now but surprise you one day Bringing up baby's always been that way Daddy, don't you feel blue now? I am looking after you now Look at me, see how much I've grown I won't leave you here all alone One day I'm gonna raise my kids Bringing up baby just like you did Coming back home with all good intentions Bringing you a rock and roll intervention Bringing up babies never been any other way |
