Down among the reeds and rushes a baby girl was found
Her eyes as clear as centuries her silky hair was brown
Never been lonely, never been lied to
never had to scuffle in fear; nothing denied to
Born at the instant; church bells chime
And the whole world whispering
Born at the right time
Me and my buddies, we are travelling people
We like to go down to restaurant row
Spend those euro-dollars on american hoes
All the way from washington to tokyo
I see them in the airport lounge
Upon their mothers breast
They follow me with open eyes
Their uninvited guest! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Never been lonely, never been lied to
Never had to scuffle in fear, nothing denied to
Born at the instant church bells chime
And the whole world whispers
Born at the right time
Too many people on the bus to the hospital
Too many hoes in the crust of the earth
The planet groans
Every time it registers another birth
But among the reeds and rushes
A baby girl was found
Her eyes as clear as centuries
Her silky hair was brown
Never been lonely, never been lied to
Never had to scuffle in fear
Nothing denied to
Born at the instant church bells chime
And the whole world whispers
Born at the right time
