Lullaby in Overdrive
My boy has already been invited to the Caribbean one more time in his 18 months on earth than I have in, well, more than an order of magnitude longer.
Lyrics:
My baby's girlfriend Zora has an island house
Halfway between Havana and Fort Lauderdale
She sends an airplane and a rocket and a bus
To bring her playgroup over for her crazy baby games
By two they're drinking coffee,
Eating sushi long before they're five
These babies won't stop growing up
So put your lullabies in overdrive
My niece's favorite band is N*SYNC
She shakes her head when I ask "CSN&Y?"
She says she'd die if she could wrestle JT
And smiles an awkward smile when I burst into Fire and Rain
Her iPod has Maroon
It has no Jackson Five
These babies won't stop growing up
So put your lullabies in overdrive
My lover's lover's baby's teacher sings a song
I can't believe that baby even goes to school
His second birthday is the first day of July
If he gets homework, I'll just write a note and take him to the beach
By six they're multiplying,
Pretty soon we teach them to derive
These babies won't stop growing up
So put your lullabies in overdrive
