Lyrics:

Snowman sittin’ in the sun
Doesn’t have time to waste
Had a little bit too much fun
Now his head’s erased
Back in the house, family of three
Two doin’ the laundry
And one in the nursery

We brought a brand-new baby back from Bangeladash
Thought we’d name her Emily
She’s beautiful
Beautiful

Yes, sir, head’s erased
Brain’s a bowl of jelly
Hasn’t hurt his sense of taste
Judging from his belly
Back in the house, family of four now
Two doin’ the laundry
And two on the kitchen floor

We brought a brand-new baby back from mainland China
Sailed across the China Sea
She’s beautiful
Beautiful

Go-kart sittin’ in the shade
You don’t need a ticket to ride
It’s summertime, summertime
Slip down a waterslide
Little kid dancin’ in the grass
Legs like rubber band
It’s summertime, summertime
There’s a line at the candy stand
You better keep an eye on them children, eye on them children in the pool
You better keep an eye on them children, eye on them children in the pool

We brought a brand-new baby back from Kosovo
That was nearly seven years ago
He cried all night, could not sleep
His eyes were bright, dark and deep
Beautiful
Beautiful
