lyrics

You hold the can with both hands
You’re smiling - a lot
You lick the straw and your sticky fingers
‘Cause you can’t stand to miss a drop
You got a wrinkled nose where the bubbles go
And the colour of your mouth is off
I hear a slurp, and then a burp
Must be your first time drinking pop

You act like chocolate cake’s the reason
That you were born with hands
Why use a napkin for that ice cream?
When I’m standing here wearing pants
Just before you sneeze I see your chocolate teeth
And I wonder where we went wrong
I hear you blow, there’s chocolate snow
And the birthday cake is gone

Yodelling!

I made you soup, the way you like it
I took out all the little *bike horn* chunks
You’re sitting there, you just stare
You know what my dad would have done?
My eyes are wide, your mouth is tight
We’ve done this dance before
You fill your spoon, and then you drop it
I’m cleaning cold soup off the floor
‘Cause that’s what a dad is for
I always thought I could do more
But at least I got to yodel in one song
Yodelay-hee-hoo!
