Lyrics: Nathan Tysen
Music: Jason Howland
Do you know what I did when my baby was born
You don’t
Because no one was there
My baby was maybe an hour old
And Tom was god knows where
Coming out of the ether
My head full of smoke
It’s a girl the nurse said
And I broke
I broke
Do you know what I did when my baby was born
When I found out that she was a "she"
I prayed that my beautiful child would be
The fool, that I could never be
Let my girl be a fool
To whom it won't occur
That the choices she makes
In this life are never hers
Never hers
Never hers
Thе best thing a girl can be in this world
Is a beautiful littlе fool
The best thing a girl can be in this world
Is a beautiful little fool
The best thing a girl can be in this world
Is charming and blithe
In polished repose
An absolute rose
And a fool
