Lyrics:

A baby was born in a small town yesterday

He's a magical child with a cosmic death ray

But his mother always wanted to play

Such a long way down



But mommy comes back

She always comes back to get me

Mommy comes back, she always comes back

And she never will forget me now



The baby grows up

And soon becomes a kid

Spends his whole life explaining

The things that his mother did

Then they say she went

And drowned

Such a long way down



CHORUS



When she came up

She'd looked better

»Look, dear, I made you a sweater«



Now it's all done

They live up in Monticello

With some pizza pockets

Some papers and a case of mello-yellow

But don't go in celloe - such a long way

Run when you hear the cello

You're in for a long stay

Hey, hey
