lyrics

Met you at a bookstore, you said Hemingway’s a bore,
But lately everything bores me,
Too bad we can’t get married.
Now we’re in our late twenties
And hope grows like a Bonsai tree
I think it’s time to conference
Cause we should be having kids.

Now that you are moving in,
They all say we live in sin,
But I don’t care if we burn in hell
Cause all our friends will be there as well.
But to build our nation state,
It’s necessary to procreate
So it’s time to copulate
Cause we should be having kids

Name them Princess Caroline
Joan of Arc or Madeline
Dress them up in combat boots
Put our girls in business suits
Now we’re at that point in life
When we should be having
Lots of gay babies,
I don’t mean maybe,
The population needs saving,
Donors are waiting,
So let’s start having kids.
