Quit talking

Don't wanna comb my hair
and where's my teddy bear?

Time will march
days will go
and little baby's going to grow
i gotta tell her what she needs to know
i'll help her along
and she'll be strong
and she'll know right from wrong
As life's parade goes marching by
she's gonna need to know some reasons why
i don't have all the answers
but i'll try the best as i can
i'll make him a man, that's right
'cause you give the kid your best
and hope she passes the test
and i find it so hard i taught him well
somewhere though she's going i betting i never will forget
mummy, can i have that big elephant over there?
Hey why they do that there?
and how you put that there?
hey mummy, up here hey mummy, what that say up there?
hey mummy, what is fair?
how come i have to share?
and mummy can i have that big elephant over there? (3x)
