I Was Born Yesterday |
| I, I was born yesterday |
| And I believe all that you say |
| I have no choice, I must obey |
| You |
| Is this the first or the second day |
| Of the rest of my life, well hey |
| Why should I care either way |
| If what you say |
| Is true |
| Saturday morning, the 18th of December |
| I cannot remember the last time that I saw |
| Such a young ballerina in love with the loveless |
| In tune with a tuneless |
| Old upright piano |
| Standing en pointe |
| Going through each position with gentle precision |
| She measures each movement |
| Her classical features and elegant waistline |
| Are going to waste while she pleases her parents |
| I, I was born yesterday |
| And I believe all that you say |
| I have no choice, I must obey |
| You |
| (But I have a question) |
| Is this the first or the second day |
| Of the rest of my life, well hey |
| Why should I care either way |
| If what you say |
| Is true |
| What if they died on the road to Rathmines? |
| Where a dog in two minds times his run to perfection |
| An orphan at last, she’d be sick in the loo-bowl |
| Then go the funeral and cry by the graveside |
| Then she would sleep with the first man she sees |
| And she’d catch some disease which she’d give to her doctor |
| And she’d cook her own breakfast and she’d cook his as well |
| And they’d both get on swell even though he was married |
| You are a part of me |
| I am a part of you |
| Why should I let you walk |
| All over me |
| All over me |
