Little Kawai

Walter Becker

Here's a note from one Miss Turnbull

Certain homework was not done

Tiny holes in brand new windows

From an unknown BB gun

Cinder Annie and your Big Mommie

Say the facts all point to you



But they don't love you

Little Kawai

Not the way that I do

Not the way that I do



That new squirt gun

Eric got you

Don't you aim it over here

That's a mean song Eldon taught you

I no longer wish to hear

And where he says babies come from

This is not completely true



That's a tall one

Little Kawai

And those bad boys

They don't love you

Not the way that I do



In the morning in spite of everything

We'll go driving in our car

Straight to IHOP where it's well-known

The world's junkest pancakes are

Maple syrup on those french fries

They say it's no good for you



But you're still growing

Little Kawai

What do they know

Do they love you

Not the way that I do

Not the way that I do
