Lyrics
TEST TUBE BABY
–J. Wrabek
1.
My momma was a star of the silent screen...
My daddy built the first atom bomb machine...
They got together, twenty years apart
And the lab made me out of their spare parts–
I’m a test tube baby, from the u-ni-versity;
I’m a child of the future–I come from the factory.
2.
Well, Daddy went to Heaven in an atom blast,
Momma cashed it in in the Wall Street crash;
They never met till after they died
But I’m the livin’ proof that you can do it if you try–
I’m a test tube baby, from the u-ni-versity;
I’m a child of the future–I come from the factory.
CHORUS
Test tube baby (test tube baby)
Test tube baby (test tube baby)
I’m a test tube baby, from the u-ni-versity;
I’m a child of the future–I come from the factory.
BREAK (USE PROGRESSION FROM CHORUS)
3.
I got my momma’s brains, I got my daddy’s looks,
I got a full page write-up in the hist’ry books;
Made Nobel Prize winners flip their lids
When they saw me growin’ in that Petri dish–
I’m a test tube baby, from the u-ni-versity;
I’m a child of the future–I come from the factory.
4.
Well, when I die, some future day,
They c’n ship my remains down to U.C.L.A.,
Stick me in a deep freeze with a good-lookin’ chick
And we’ll make babies in that Petri dish–
Yeah, test tube babies, from the u-ni-versity;
I’m a child of the future–I come from the factory.
CHORUS
Test tube baby (test tube baby)
Test tube baby (test tube baby)
I’m a test tube baby, from the u-ni-versity;
I’m a child of the future–I come from the factory.
ANOTHER BREAK (USE PROGRESSION FROM CHORUS AGAIN)
CHORUS
Test tube baby (test tube baby)
Test tube baby (test tube baby)
I’m a test tube baby, from the u-ni-versity;
I’m a child of the future–I come from the factory.
Yeah, I’m a child of the future, I come from the fac-to-ry.
