Brian Yorkey - Hey, Kid lyrics

[Josh] Hey, kid Everyone's waiting on you, kid Everyone's wond'ring what you'll do, kid It's true kid Me too, kid Hey, kid We're so excited Just to know you'll soon be here Say – kid We're both delighted Though that may not seem so clear But I did my o.b. rotation So I know the ins and outs And you're an act of God's creation So I'm fine with all the doubts I'm a doctor and a soldier I've been shelled, and under fire But kid If I say that you don't scare me, I'm a liar Now kid You did surprise me Though I know the facts of life Wow, kid It terrifies me Just to say “My pregnant wife” ‘Cause kid, I gotta tell ya I'm not ready – not a bit There's this macho act I'll sell ya While inside I lose my sh** It's not that I don't want you ‘Cause I do, despite my fears But kid Is it true you'll stick around for eighteen years? Then the call comes on the iPhone I grab a cab cross town I find her on the fourth floor And they've got her in the gown She's never looked less lovely She's a grump and she's got gas And the labor's eighteen hours Oh my God, kid, move your a** Then at last you make your entrance And, well, kid, you're quite a sight I'll be honest – you're disgusting But I know that you're all right Though you're screaming and you're spitting And I can't quite see your charms They clean you and they clothe you And they put you in my arms And I realize, in an instant That I've known you all along That I've wanted you forever That I'll never do you wrong And whatever this world comes to And whatever comes our way I will watch you, and protect you I promise, kid, we'll be okay We'll be okay We'll be okay Hey Kid I feel like yelling Ring the bell and bang the drum Say, kid There's just no telling all the things that you'll become And I think we'll have some fun here Your mom, and you, and me And before your time is done here Kid of mine, I hope you'll see That this life is what you make it It's cliche, which means it's true And kid It makes my life to know I helped make you As a father, kid, I may not have a clue But your mom and me will somehow muddle through If my a**hole dad could do it, I can too In fact, I'll do better, I'll start new ‘Cause kid My kid Our kid I love you
