Growin’ In The Womb
(sung to the tune of Blowin' In the Wind)
How many mornings of keeping it down
before my food isn’t bland?
Yes, 'n how many tests must the midwife perform
before I’ve met her demands?
Yes, 'n how many months of no soft cheese
before I can eat what is banned?
The answer, my friend, is growin’ in the womb,
the answer is growin’ in the womb.
How can it be that even so soon
my love’s reached an oversupply?
Yes, 'n how many hormones does it take to ensure
that a dog food ad must make me cry?
Yes, 'n how many months ’till we both look up
and realize the time has flown by?
The answer, my friend, is growin’ in the womb,
the answer is growin’ in the womb.
How many weeks will you float inside me
expanding the uterine sea?
Yes, 'n how many minutes can I stay asleep
before I’m awoken to pee?
Yes, 'n how will it feel when you’re finally born
and cuddled by your family?
The answer, my friend, is growin’ in the womb,
the answer is growin’ in the womb.

ReplyDeleteThis is how we announced it to the extended family. Song parodies are an important tradition! Max and I did a little recording of us singing, and then sent out the audio and lyrics to the family, with help from my parents in arranging it all. :)
