VERSE ONE Mickey Mouse in baby’s bed Big eyes big ears a bursting head When baby screams the money flows When baby dreams a soul is sold CHORUSHow can you raise a child? How can you raise a child? The oceans rise the sky is wild And now we shop for air And now we shop for air Make a life and end it there
VERSES TWO - FOUR
Baby baby what ya buyin? Eyes go here eyes go there Too late to cry – buyer beware Baby baby what ya buyin?
Who’s expected who’s outside
Baby sleeps but cannot hide The doorknob turns we cannot move Oh no! The toy we can’t refuse Killer logo in baby’s house On daddy’s shoes on momma’s blouse On sister’s breath on brother’s sweats On toys on bombs on TV sets
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSES FIVE - SIX The products meet in the childrens’ ward What do you think they’re waiting for The new consumer, the baby king The one who will buy anything Superman takes baby’s hand Up in the sky to the ATM Remove your cash the fun begins We just spend and we spend and we spend and we spend and we spend again
FINAL VERSE Baby baby what ya buyin? Eyes go here eyes go there Too late to cry - buyer beware Baby baby what ya buyin? Baby baby what ya buyin? what ya buyin? what ya buyin? How can you raise a child? Baby baby what ya buyin?
