Now I'm Your Mom

David Byrne

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
