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
|
Then they will make that incision - down below
|
|
The birds and the bees
|
Are singin' for me
|
And this is the song I heard them singin'
|
Goin' 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'
|
Goin' 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 uncharted lands
|
There ain't no turning 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 o' wings
|
And I'm gonna fly away
|
Too late to turn back now
|
Tomorrow came today - for me
|
