"Beautiful" lyrics

"Beautiful"

Snowman sitting in the sun doesn't have time to waste
He had a little bit too much fun, now his head's erased
Back in the house, family of three
Two doing the laundry and one in the nursery

We brought brand new baby back from Bangladesh
Thought we'd name her Emily
She's beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful

Yes sir, head's erased, brain's a bowl of jelly
Hasn't hurt his sense of taste, judging from his belly
But back in the house, family of four now
Two doing the laundry and two on the kitchen floor

We brought a brand new baby back from mainland China
Sailed across the China Sea
She's beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful

Go-kart sitting in the shade, you don't need a ticket to ride
It's summertime, summertime, slip down a water slide
Little kid dancing in the grass, legs like a rubber band
It's summertime, summertime, there's a line at the candy stand
Keep and eye on them children
Eye on them children in the pool
You'd better keep an eye on them children
Eye on them children in the pool

We brought a brand new baby back from Kosovo
That was nearly seven years ago
He cried all night, could not sleep
His eyes were bright, dark and deep
He's beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
