Lyrics Idina Menzel – Hey, Kid

Josh:
Hey, kid
Everyone’s waiting on you, kid
Everyone’s wond’ring what you’ll do, kid

Hey, kid
We’re so excited
Just to know you’ll soon be here
Say – kid
We’re both delighted
Though that may not seem so clear
But I did my o.b. rotation
So I know the ins and outs
And you’re an act of God’s creation
So I’m fine with all the doubts
I’m a doctor and a soldier
I’ve been shelled, and under fire
But kid
If I say that you don’t scare me, I’m a liar

Now kid
You did surprise me
Though I know the facts of life
Wow, kid
It terrifies me
Just to say “My pregnant wife”
‘Cause kid, I gotta tell ya
I’m not ready – not a bit
There’s this macho act I’ll sell ya
While inside I lose my shit

Then the call comes on the iPhone
I grab a cab cross town
I find her on the fourth floor
And they’ve got her in the gown

She’s never looked less lovely
She’s a grump and she’s got gas
And the labor’s eighteen hours
Oh my God, kid, move your ass

Then at last you make your entrance
And, well, kid, you’re quite a sight
I’ll be honest – you’re disgusting
But I know that you’re all right

Though you’re screaming and you’re spitting
And I can’t quite see your charms
They clean you and they clothe you
And they put you in my arms

And I realize, in an instant
That I’ve known you all along
That I’ve wanted you forever
That I’ll never do you wrong

And whatever this world comes to
And whatever comes our way
I will watch you, and protect you
I promise, kid, we’ll be okay
We’ll be okay
We’ll be okay
Hey

Kid
I feel like yelling
Ring the bell and bang the drum
Say, kid
There’s just no telling all the things that you’ll become
And I think we’ll have some fun here
Your mom, and you, and me
And before your time is done here
Kid of mine, I hope you’ll see
That this life is what you make it
It’s cliche, which means it’s true
And kid
It makes my life to know I helped make you

As a father, kid, I may not have a clue
But your mom and me will somehow muddle through
If my asshole dad could do it, I can too
In fact, I’ll do better, I’ll start new
‘Cause kid
My kid
Our kid
I love you
