(with thanks to Evan Dando and the Lemonheads, who sing this in my head almost every time we go for a walk)

She takes me on a rockin’ stroll
If you won’t wave guess I won’t know
as I by I roll I hope you’ll throw a smile at me
this here pram is all I’ve known
I won’t be walking till I’ve grown
All I’ve been shown is everything I want to see
Peoples knees, and trunks of trees
Smile at me

Looking upwards to the sky
moving forward all the time
the sidewalk lines gdunk gdunk gdunk gdai
if it’s warm in here is it cold down there,
around out where I can only stare
I’m still aware of little but I’m gonna try
I’m gonna try
I’m gonna try
I’m gonna try
I’m gonna try Ooooooo

She takes me on a rockin’ stroll
If you won’t wave guess I won’t know
as I by I roll I hope you’ll throw a smile at me
this here pram is all I’ve known
I won’t be walking till I’ve grown
All I’ve been shown is everything I want to see
Peoples knees,
Trunks of trees,
Smile at me

(from It’s a Shame About Ray, by the Lemonheads, 1992. OMG how is that album 20 years old? I am getting so old. It is still good.)
