Paul And Storm - A Better Version of You lyrics

Hey, little man, get up out of bed And wipe all the sleep from those eyes I know that it's late, but we just couldn't wait To tell you our big new surprise Remember that night, about three months ago When you walked into Mom and Dad's room? And then how we talked of the birds and the bees And “arousal” and “climax” and “wombs?” Well, six months from now, you'll be a big brother That's right, Little Tiger, it's true: Mommy and Daddy are making a better version of you It might be a boy, just like his older brother But without the flaws holding you down Or, if we are lucky, we could have a girl Like we wanted the first time around Maybe this new person won't wet the bed Or bug us for candy and toys I bet the new you will shut up when we tell them And not make so much goddamn noise Thanks to the five years we've had you to practice on Now we know what not to do Mommy and Daddy are making a better version of you Can you imagine the things he'll achieve As a doctor or lawyer or Indian chief? He'll be an astronaut, he'll bring world peace He will win the World Series and cure all disease He will be handsome And he will be popular He will be wealthy And very important And he will be famous And he will be special And you get to watch It's a lot for a five-year-old boy to take in But we know that you're brave and you're tough We ask that you give to him all of your love And your bedroom and all of your stuff It's not a replacement—it's more like an upgrade It's Our Little Guy, version II Mommy and Daddy are making The bun's in the oven and baking Mommy and Daddy are making a better version of you
