congratulations

looks like you finally made it, boy

you're a real major-leauger now

mama must be so, so proud

the word around

is that your nest was too cozy

see, some words are like bricks

and so we built our fortresses



you're on your own now, boy

i bet you got the whole world figured out

one man cleans up after the pony

and another man rides that pony out

and prances around

isn't that what you were trained for

but your words weigh you down

you built your nest of bricks

built your nest of bricks



all (we say)

we are (today)

is all (we say)

we'll be (tomorrow)
