| Title: Mommy Daddy You and I
Artist: Talking Heads
All the way home from Baltimore
We couldn´t find a seat
Conductor says he´s sorry for
The blisters on our feet
Comes a-riding in a bus
The high and the low
Mommy, daddy, you and I
Going on a trip
And we´re not going home
Mommy, daddy, you and I
Driving, keep driving
Driving, driving all night
Sleeping on my daddy´s shoulder
Drinking from a paper cup
And I´m wearing my grandfather´s clothes
And they say that up North it gets cold
Crawling out of bed one night
Walking in my sleep
We´re not the only family
To take this little trip
Driving all the way up
It´s 30 below
Mommy, daddy, you and I
Even little kids
Getting ready to go
Mommy, daddy,you and I
Chilly, Chilly-Willy
It´s colder the further we go
Some are born to take advantage
But saying it don´t make it so
So hold me and don´t let me go
´Cause the sidewalks are covered with snow
He´s speaking English now
And he´s smoothing out his clothes
He´s Mr. Button Down
He´s leaving home
Making changes day by day
And we still ain´t got no plan
How we gonna make our way
In this foreign land?
Well we´ll keep driving, keep driving
Driving with all of our might
Changing, still changing
Changing the water of life
Keep that little man a shining
See how the tail can wag the dog
And we´re all riding in this old bus
And the driver is singing to us
And we´re wearing out grandfather´s clothes
´Cause we heard that up North it gets cold
