lyrics

When I was born
They stuck a pin
Into balloon rocking chair
When I was born
They stuck a pin
Into balloon rocking chair

The priests, they came around
With their bald heads
Black frocks changing colors
Making sounds like

"Wahoo! Hooey! Hee-hee! Ahahahaha!"
"Yip-yip! Yahoo! Ya-loo! Yup-yee! Yup-yay! Yup-yo!"

First time that happened
Do you remember how it felt?
I do, I do, hey teacher, I do!
Hey teacher, I know, I know, I know!

The priests, and nuns
They came around, clapping with tambourines
And circles for halos they held over their heads
Made of cardboard

When I was born
They stuck a pin
Into balloon rocking chair
The priests, and nuns, they camе around
Black and rainbow frocks
With their tambourines
They worе circles for halos which they held over their heads

Made of cardboard, their heads
Made of cardboard
I told you don't listen
Their heads are made of cardboard

First time you came around
There were way too many things to see
Way too many things for me to think about
To even notice you standing there
Black and rainbow frock
Circling round
Making sounds like
"Wahoo! Hooey! Yip-yip! Yahoo!"

Now I see you're making sounds, you're making sounds like...

"Wahoo! Hooey! Hee-hee! Ahahahaha!"
"Yip-yip! Yahoo! Ya-loo! Yup-yee! Yup-yay! Yup-yo!"

I know, I know, I know
I know, yeah, I know
I know, yeah, I know
I know, yeah, I know
When I was born
They stuck a pin
Into balloon rocking chair

"Wahoo! Hooey! Hee-hee! Ahahahaha!"
"Yip-yip! Yahoo! Ya-loo! Yup-yee! Yup-yay! Yup-yo!"
