Pass me the ball the baby said., Go Down and out by the tree, then button hook at the hedge
It's time to come in his parents said
You've got to clean the garage and the dogs must be fed
Every time I get going they always call me away
How'll I ever be any good if they won't let me play
My dreams not born but buried like a shipwreck at sea
Even when the sun's shining it's always raining on me
He's so full of life, Always eager for a game
It's been years since I had any desire so bad
Oh tell me when did I become tame
Pass me the torch the baby said. As she collected her kisses, hurried off to bed
You’re still very little her parents said
We don't think your ready and they passed her, her Ted, instead
I know that I'm ready, I know I can play
I'm not asking for handouts I will earn my own way
You just pass me your failures and fill me with your fears
I'm my woman's inspiration cried the child through her tears
She's so sure about herself …
She knows what she wants to be
Over the years I'd forgotten
how important my dreams were to me
Let’s sing a song the babies said, We know a lot by the Beatles & the Grateful Dead
Can't you see were busy here watching the news
Go fetch me my slippers’, help take off my shoes
I'm always running your errands and feeling your blues
You just sit there on your can .
Old man, Go get your own shoes
The land of no rules, is right here in my head
Think I'll kick off my shoes and go dancing instead
Baby Talk, Baby Talk,
First they tie you down, tell you to walk
Baby Talk Can't you see,
they’ve clipped your wings
trying to set you free
