You're long and strong like a railway trestle Dad just a muscle and mama just a vessel Meant to call, fawn over, nuzzle and nestle But Dad's just a bear you can tackle down and wrestle Son, give me time, I'm a bona fide mess'll If Mama says no, maybe Dad'll say yes'll Did you do wrong? well, go ahead confess'll Dad just a muscle and mama just a vessel
You all blue and your mama like a rattle Came out looking like a Smurf in a battle Me in the nosebleeds, Mama in the saddle Brave like a Sioux Brave going into battle Emotion going like a stampede of cattle Real like rain and coffee in Seattle Anesthesiologist fiddle and faddle You all blue and your mama like a rattle
Oh, life so clear like a Rivera mural Lucifer's teeth introduce the epidural Dr. Jones, do you need a heaven referral? God sent ya down to me and my girl She's long and tall and healthy as hell But the plan went to hell when the little fella fell Boy went headfirst into her pelvis 1956 shaking like Elvis
Oh, yesterday born and already thinking Body like a Ford and a mind like Lincoln Mama and Papa in love and sinking Into a brand new situation, drinking Up coffee like a fish on second and third shift Lovin' every single ever-loving minute of this Standing ovation for the O R specialist Let me get close wanna give my son one kiss on his head
Planning for the future, health and dental Picking up my baby boy, easy and gentle Soup for the family, sausage and lentil Beans and greens, arugula and fentel Don't never sleep I'm about to go mental But nothing so far has been accidental Can't keep my life, so it's got to be a rental Picking up my baby boy, easy and gentle
Oh, you're long and strong like a railway trestle Dad just a muscle and mama just a vessel Meant to call, fawn over cuddle and nestle But Dad's just a bear you can tackle down and wrestle You can have a pop-tent or you can have a castle Try to change people but it's gonna be a hassle Don't have to be an astronaut for NASA But it's always good to get a gown and a tassel
Son, have fun with your life, it's a drama Just one period and all kinds of commas Now you got a onesie but then you get pajamas You know you got me and you know ya got your mama
