CHORUS (x2)   Will you stay in our lovers' story   If you stay you won't be sorry   'Cause we believe in you   Soon you'll grow so take a chance   With a couple of kooks   Hung up on romancing      We bought a lot of things to keep you warm and dry   And a funny old crib on which the paint won't dry   I bought you a pair of shoes   A trumpet you can blow   And a book of rules   On what to say to people when they pick on you   'Cause if you stay with us you're gonna be pretty kooky too      CHORUS      And if you ever have to go to school   Remember how they messed up this old fool   Don't pick fights with the bullies or the cads   'Cause I'm not much cop at punching   Other people's dads   And if the homework brings you down   Then we'll throw it on the fire   And take the car downtown      CHORUS (repeat and fade)
