What Will Baby Be

Lyrics

Baby, rock-a-bye baby
 
 A young couple marries, already fighting
 Along comes baby makin' them three
 Trouble's all he hears from the time he's in didies
 Baby don't know just what to believe
 Angry words and spiteful actions
 Baby's gonna cut his teeth on these
 If that's gonna be the main attraction
 What will the baby be? What will baby be?
 Baby needs love and needs direction
 Baby's first school is the family
 For they are only a reflection
 Of the things they see, what will baby be?
 What will baby be after baby is grown?
 What will baby do if baby don't know what's right or wrong?
 Got to show them love, got to teach them truth
 'Cause what baby is when baby grows up
 Well, that depends entirely on me and you
 Depends entirely on me and you
 ♪
 Baby, baby
 ♪
 Baby thinks God is just a curse word
 Never said a prayer 'cause he's never been taught
 They remember and repeat what they've heard
 So I ask, who's really at fault?
 So many questions, so few answers
 So many lessons we don't teach
 Stumbling through like clumsy dancers
 What will baby be? What will baby be?
 What will baby be after baby is grown?
 What will baby do when baby is out there on his own?
 Teach the children how to be all they should be
 'Cause what baby is when baby grows up
 
 Depends entirely on you and me
 Depends entirely on you and me
 ♪
 What will baby be?
