about

A little ditty about parenting from people with zero experience at it, lol.

Written in December 2011; backing tracks recorded in April 2013 in Sacramento and SSF; vocals recorded October and November 2013 in San Francisco and Cypress.

lyrics

Kid:
I want a train, mommy
I want a train, mommy
I want a train, mommy

I want the best and brightest you can bring
A locomotive that'll sing
And if it tells me how to cook
All my friends will have to look

Mom:
Take a minute to consider
We lucked out with instant dinner
Even if you had some grace
We'd be caught in layaway
No.
No!

Kid:
I want a train, daddy
I want a train, daddy
I want a train, daddy

I want the latest in technology
Other kids feel jealousy
Can it dial out to Mars?
Laser beams on sleeper cars!

Dad:
Just a second, little fool
Never did that well in school
Backing out of every chore
The answer's what you heard before...
No.
No.
(No.)

Kid:
I want a train, mommy
I want a train, daddy
I want a train, mommy
I want a train, daddy

I want a train!
I want a train!
I want a train!
I want a train!

(MOMMY! DADDY! WHERE'S MY TRAIN!?!?)

(Daddy: I said no!!!)
