Let's Put Him Back Inside the Womb

from Yestermorrow by Jim Higgins

/

lyrics

Just me and my little guy
We’ve got a rainy day so let’s improvise
And drop some tokens
At some indoor canteen

But there’s this feral boy
He’s got his bully eyes set to seek-and-destroy
He’s like a three-foot walking/talking
Defective gene
Uh oh, here he comes

He’s as wrong as an improper noun
Or a low-cut, shocking pink wedding gown
I wonder just how many times
That his folks have sent him up to his room
‘Cause I don’t think that’ll do
So let’s put him back inside the womb

Not quite sure what to say
My little guy just wants to run and play
He doesn’t understand the world yet
And kids like that
Uh oh, here he comes…again

He’s as wrong as an improper noun
Or a low-cut, shocking pink wedding gown
I wonder just how many times
That his folks have sent him up to his room
‘Cause I don’t think that’ll do
So let’s put him back inside the womb

Waiter, this one’s underdone
Could you please return it to the oven
And feel free to play with the recipe
Just mix it up, Chef Boyardee
Mm…mm…
And make sure it’s done right
Try taking out the spite

The tot offensive’s on
It’s like that Patrick Swayze flick “Red Dawn”
My little guy’s too small for defense
The bully gloats

And so time to step in
Now he’s the boy in the water, I’m the dorsal fin
He’s gonna learn some brand new words now
Hope he takes notes
Look out, here I come

Ruder than a showbiz mom
I’m a first stall toilet seat cherry bomb
If he touches my kid one more time
He’ll be watching all of his best cartoons
From the return-to-sender room
So let’s put him back inside the…
Let’s put him back inside the…
Let’s put him back inside the womb
