david shire and richard maltby jr. - fatherhood blues lyrics

Loading...

[danny]
look at me!
a part of my life is through
ooh+ooh+ooh

i’m twenty+one
and i’ll soon be a father too
oh+oh+oh

woah
my burdens start to grow+oh
the fun i used to know+oh
i’m watching slip away

but my head is high
and the air is sweet
and the street will not
stay under my feet
i walk along
to a funky beat
wherever i go, i’m happy!

starting now, i’m paying my dues
but instead of singing the blues
i’m happy
[alan]
look at me!
a part of me feel like you
except my back is out
and i’m really not twenty+two
ooh+ooh+ooh
oh+oh
my kid’s are grown and so+oh
i should be through, but no+oh
a fourth one’s on the way

[danny and alan]
but my head is high
and the air is sweet
and the street will not
stay under my feet
i walk along
to a funky beat
wherever i go, i’m happy!

[alan]
i feel young
with nothing to lose
when you got
the fatherhood blues
[danny and alan]
you’re happy!

[man 1]
did you think life was sweeter than honey?
did you think you had plenty of money?
now you’re gonna have a kid! well, sonny!
kiss it all goodbye

china plates, did you think about keeping?
sporty cars, did you dream about beeping?
sunday mornings, did you enjoy sleeping?
kid, don’t even try

[man 2]
will you give up some things that you want? sure!

[man 1]
each of them’s gonna need othidonture!

[man 1 and 2]
any junk that the monsters’ll want you’re
gonna have to buy!

but your head is high
and the air is sweet
and the street will not
stay under your feet
you walk along
to a funky beat
wherever you go, you’re happy!
[all]
my head is high
and the air is sweet
and the street will not
stay under my feet
i walk along
to a funky beat
wherever i go, i’m happy!

[man 1]
deep in debt and holding your shoes

[man 2]
but you’ve got the fatherhood blues
you’re

[all]
happy

[nick]
a guy who’s forty+eight can do it
a kid who couldn’t wait can do it
bum can do it
b00bs can do it
jerks and god knows who!
my six brothers once a week can do it
couples who hardly ever speak can do it
fools can do it
freaks can do it
what’s so hard to do!

little guys without any hair
guys who need a map to know where
even guys who don’t even care
come through
they do
well no tells me i can’t do it too!

my head’ll be high!
when my kid and i
we’ll walk along to a funky beat
wherever we go feel happy

[all]
my head is high
and the air is sweet
and the street will not
stay under my feet
i walk along
to a funky beat
wherever i go, i’m happy!

[man 1]
why this joy
i haven’t a clue

[man 2]
or in fact
how much did we do

[alan]
or an act
i hardly recall

[danny]
why do i feel ten feet tall

[all]
when my burdens grow
and my heart is high
and the world i know
i kiss goodbye
and i’m deep in debt
and the well is dry
and my youth is gone
and i touched the sky
and i’m feeling great and i don’t know why

that’s the fatherhood blues!
