Mommy Daddy You And I - Talking Heads

All the way home from Baltimore we couldn’t find a seat

Conductor says he’s sorry for the blisters on our feet

Comes a-riding in a bus, the high and the low

Mommy, daddy, you and I

Going on a trip and we’re not going home

Mommy, daddy, you and I, I

Driving, keep driving, driving, driving all night

Sleeping on my daddy’s shoulder, drinking from a paper cup

And I’m wearing my grandfather’s clothes and they say that up North it gets cold

Crawling out of bed one night, walking in my sleep

We’re not the only family to take this little trip

Driving all the way up, It’s 30 below

Mommy, daddy, you and I

Even little kids getting ready to go

Mommy, daddy, you and I

Chilly, Chilly-Willy, It’s colder the further we go

Some are born to take advantage but saying it don’t make it so

So hold me and don’t let me go, 'cause the sidewalks are covered with snow

He’s speaking English now and he’s smoothing out his clothes

He’s Mr. Button Down, he’s leaving home

Making changes day by day and we still ain’t got no plan

How we gonna make our way in this foreign land?

Well we’ll keep driving, keep driving, driving with all of our might

Changing, still changing, changing the water of life

Keep that little man a shining, see how the tail can wag the dog

And we’re all riding in this old bus

And the driver is singing to us

And we’re wearing our grandfather’s clothes

'cause we heard that up North it gets cold
