Intro: |A augmentedA |
Verse 1
G+G
I guess I was skeptical when I first met Dr. Martin
A augmentedA
He said we could build a baby out of DNA
D MajorD
And although it was expensive it was legal in the states
A augmentedA
where it wasn't banned
C majorC
It was Betty who suggested we cut out the parts of me
A augmentedA
that she can't stand
Pre-chorus 1
E MajorE D#m7b5D#m7b5
So we made an appointment and Betty went alone
E MajorE D#m7b5D#m7b5
They worked out the details and then called me on the phone
E7E7
To say congratulations Dad

Now things are getting better for Betty and me

We're making us a baby that's just like me only better

And Betty says he'll be smarter
E MajorE
And Betty says that our baby will be better than me
Verse 2
G+G
Betty was pretty firm about our baby being human
A augmentedA
I said we should give him wings and nice prehensile tail
A augmentedA
He could travel with the circus making money, making friends with clowns
A augmentedA
Betty said that's stupid and for God's sake would you turn that TV down?
Pre-chorus 2
E MajorE D#m7b5D#m7b5
Now I've seen Betty happy, but she's never been like this

And I'm excited too

Bridge
A augmentedA
And the love inside me thunders like a storm
A augmentedA
And I hope the tube they keep him in is comfortable and warm
D MajorD
I hope the nutritive solution that they're feeding him
E MajorE
doesn't make him fat
Verse 3
G+G
Betty's been spending lots of time out late with Dr. Martin
A augmentedA
She says that they're working on the baby every night
A augmentedA
And Dr. Martin brings her presents like new underwear and a bottle of wine
A augmentedA
I'll just keep on writing checks until the day that baby is mine
Pre-chorus 3
E MajorE D#m7b5D#m7b5
He might have my moustache or my freckles or my eyes
E MajorE D#m7b5D#m7b5
Betty says it's better if we keep it a surprise
E7E7
I hope I find out soon
