It might be great to have a kid that I could kick arounda little me to fill up with thoughts A little me or he or she to fill up with my dreamsa way of saying life is not a loss I'd keep the tyke away from schooland tutor him myselfkeep him from the poison of the crowd But then again pristine isolationmight not be the best idea It's not good trying to immortalize yourself Why stop at one, I might have ten, a regular TV brood I'd breed a little liberal army in the woods Just like these redneck lunatics I see at the local barwith their tribe of mutant inbred piglets with cloven hooves I'd teach them how to plant a bomb, start a fire, play guitarand if they catch a hunter, shoot him in the nuts I'd try to be as progressive as I could possibly beas long as I didn't have to try too much Susie, Jesus, Bogart, Sam Leslie, Jill and Jeff Rita, Winny, Andy, Fran and Jet Boris, Bono, Lucy, Ethel Bunny, Reg and Tomthat's a lot of names to try not to forget Carrier, Marlon, Mo and Steve La Rue and Jerry Lee Eggplant, Rufus, Dummy, Star and The Glob I'd need a damn computer to keep track of all these names I hope this baby thing don't go too far Hey I hope it's true what my wife said to me She says, baby, it's the Beginning of a Great Adventure It might be fun to have a kid that I could kick aroundcreate in my own image like a god I'd raise my own pallbearers to carry me to my graveand keep me company when I'm a wizened toothless clod Some gibbering old fool sitting all alonedrooling on his shirtsome senile old fart playing in the dirt It might be fun to have a kid I could pass something on tosomething better than rage, pain, anger and hurt I hope it's true what my wife said to me She says Lou, it's the Beginning of a Great Adventure
