New-born babe

Don't know nothing 'bout the ways of the world

Or astronauts upon the moon, or witches on brooms

New-born babe

Don't know nothing 'bout the politics of people

Or chess pieces, or old churches

You just know your mother



New-born babe

Don't know nothing 'bout the way it's gonna be

Or clown faces or masterpieces

Or love affairs or rocking chairs

I see you sleeping away, getting older every day



New-born babe

Don't know nothing 'bout the way it's gonna be

Or clown faces or masterpieces

Or love affairs or rocking chairs

I see you sleeping away

Oh, you're getting older every day
