song: Let's Get the Baby High
artist: the Dead Milkmen
album: Not Richard, but Dick
Man: She looked like a corpse on my front porch
Clutching the stone of her latest divorce, saying
Both: Let's get the baby high!
Woman: Oh Little pig, little pig, let me in!
I've traded food stamps for a bottle of gin, c'mon
Let's get the baby high!
Man: For someone like you to get custody
Of an innocent child is a tragedy,
You won't get your baby high.
Woman: Oh, just open up, i've got nowhere to go.
My man threw me out and it's starting to snow, so
Let's get the baby high!
Man: I don't mean to question your parenting skills,
But i'm really amazed that kid hasn't been killed!
Please don't get your baby high.
Woman: For someone like you to criticize me
Is really the height of hypocrisy!
So let's get the baby high!
BRIDGE: E C repeated several times
Man: There's no way in hell I'll open my door,
I still have pictures from the time before
You won't get your baby high.
Woman: Yes i've traded my bullets for a couple of lids,
But it's none of your business how i raise my kids!
Now let's get the baby high!
Man: For someone like you to get custody
Of an innocent child is a tragedy,
You won't get your baby high.
Woman: I've asked you politely, now i'm gonna be mean-
If you don't open up, i'm going to scream!
Now let's get the baby high!
Man: You can scream all you want but you're not gettin' in
What you do to that kid is really a sin!
Please don't get your baby high.
Woman: For someone like you to criticize me
Is really the height of hypocrisy!
Now let's get the baby high!
BRIDGE: E C repeated several times
Man: She stood still like a corpse on my front porch
Still clutching the stone of her latest divorce, saying
Let's get the baby high.
