Lyrics

Hi!
Hi!
I'm a baby
What do you think I am? A loaf of bread?
You could be, what do I know? I'm just born, I'm a baby
I don't even know if I'm under a tree or in a hospital or what
I'm just so glad to be here
Well, I'm a baby too
Have it your own way, I don't want to fight about it
What are you scared? Yes, I am, I'm a little scared
I'll tell you why, see, I don't know if I'm a boy or a girl yet
What's that got to do with it?
Well, if you're a boy and I'm a girl, you can beat me up
You think I want to lose a tooth my first day alive?
What's a tooth?
Search me, I'm just born, I'm a baby, I don't know nothing yet
Do you think you're a girl?
I don't know, I might be, I think I am, I've never been anything before
Let me see, let me take a little look around
Mm-mm, cute feet, small, dainty, yep, yep
I'm a girl, that's it, girl time!
What do you think I am?
You? That's easy, you're a boy
You sure?
Of course, I'm sure
I'm alive already four, five minutes, right?
I haven't been wrong yet
Gee, I don't feel like a boy
That's because you can't see yourself
Why? What do I look like?
Bald, you're bald, fella
Bald, bald, bald, you're bald as a ping-pong ball, are you bald?
So?
So, boys are bald and girls have hair
Are you sure?
Of course, I'm sure, who's bald, your mother or your father?
My father
I rest my case
Huh, you're bald too
You're kidding
No, I'm not
Don't look!
Why?
Ugh, a bald girl, yuck, disgusting
Maybe you're a boy and I'm a girl
There you go again, I told you
I'm a girl, I know it, I know it, I'm a girl and you're a boy
I think you're wrong
I'm never wrong
What about shaving?
What about it?
You just shaved, right? Wrong
Exactly! And you know why?
Because everyone's born with a clean shave
It's just that girls keep theirs and boys don't
So what does that prove?
Tomorrow morning, the one that needs a shave, he's a boy
Well, I can't wait until tomorrow morning
See, that proves it, girls are patient, boys are impatient
Yeah, what else?
Can you keep a secret? Absolutely
There you go, boys keep secrets, girls don't
Hmm, go on, are you afraid of mice? No
I am, I'm terrified of them
I hate them, squeak, squeak, squeak
What do you want to be when you grow up? A fireman
What did I tell you?
How about you?
A cocktail waitress, does that prove anything to you?
Hmm, you must be right
I told you, I'm always right, you're a boy and I'm the girl
I guess so, oh, wait, here comes the nurse to change our diapers
About time too, I have never been so uncomfortable in my life
Hey, look at that!
What?
You see that?
I am a girl and you're a boy
Hey, it sure looks like it
What do you think of that?
I can't understand it
Well, it sure goes to show you
What? You can't judge a book by its cover
Ha, ha, ha, what does that mean?
How should I know? I'm only a baby
So am I, goo?
Goo
