Lyrics Paul Simon – Beautiful

Snowman sittin’ 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 doin’ 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 sittin’ in the shade:
You don’t need a ticket to ride,
It’s summertime, summertime,
Slip down a water slide.

Little kid dancin’ in the grass,
Legs like 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 and 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.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
