Oh Boy

Hey, this is nice floating around in here No sweat and no strain, got nothing to fear Whoa! What is this? (Don't mean to complain) I think I got flushed down somebody's drain Ouch! What's the deal? Must you be so darn rough? I refuse to come out! Don't like it? That's tough! Crap, I'm exhausted; just too tired to fight The lights! The lights! Turn off the freekin' lights! Slap ME on the ass? That hurts you old cow! Okay! I'm screaming! You satisfied now?------ Hello, pleased to meet'cha, and who might be you? Daddy? Yeah, right, so what else is new? Good lord, I'm burnt out, I could use a short rest Where? Well okay, right here on your chest? Wow, this is cool! It's really kinda neat Like hearing the sound of your gentle heartbeat Yes, rock me a little, I sure won't refuse And hum me a tune while I take a quick snooze... * I had the pleasure and privilege of being the first to hold my son after he was born.
