Now I'm Your Mom
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He is a boy
You are a girl
And you will always stay that way
But there are people
In this world
Who'd like to change what nature made
And if you take that decision
They they will made that incision ? down below
The birds and the bees
Are singin' for me
And this is the song I heard them singin'
Tweedle dee dee
Tweedle dee dee
But I never heard a word they're tellin' me
Oh little girl
Please understand
And listen to the words I say
I was your dad
Now I'm your mom
I hope you'll comprehend someday
I didn't mean to confuse you
And now I know that it's hard to understand
The birds and the bees
Are singin' for me
But I never heard a word they're sayin'
Tweedle dee dee
Tweedle dee dee
Freedom of choice is what they're bringin'
And when Columbus sailed
Upon that mighty sea
Well, we are just like him
Yes, we are pioneers
Into the great unknown
The wild unchartered lands
There ain't no turnin' back
Ain't gonna be no chains on me
Who would ever believe
Caterpillars like me
Turning into a butterfly
Well, I was suddenly free
The birds and the bees
Are singin' for me
And this is the song I heard them singin'
Tweedle dee dee
Tweedle dee dee
Freedom of choice is what they're bringin'
You know I'm man enough
Ain't gonna run and hide
My love is mighty tough
My love is mighty wild
I got a pair a wings
And I'm gonna fly away
Too late to turn back now
Tomorrow came today ? for me
