Robbie Schaefer

Such a fine boy
What a forward thinking young man
We should send him to school
Maybe in New England
He'll be T
The apple of our eye
We'll buy him a new tie
Dress him up and comb his hair

New England
Lying on the sofa
Like a loaf of bread
Eyes glazing over
Television
Imitation life
He's not wondering
Not wondering a thing

But see this is how the thing goes
We should praise his heart instead
He should open up the windows
Dump the newsman on his head
We'll be singing hallelujah
We'll come beckoning the sky
We'll have learned to make some choices
We'll have fortified the why
And that little small voice
Tucked inside the ear

Chorus:
Will be talking up a big noise
Taking up some good cheer

Whene he was
Only days in this world
We started him on Japanese
Don't you know
It's wave of the future
We played him tapes of Mozart in his sleep

New England
Leaves spiral downward
Kamikaze jets
Always heading groundward
Now it's silence
leaves pile on
Smothering the whole world

But see this is how the thing goes
We should praise his heart instead
He should open up the windows
Dump a kamikaze on his head
We'll be singing hallelujah
He'll come beckoning the sky
He'll have learned to make some choices
He'll have fortified the why
And that little small voice
Tucked inside the ear

Chorus

We'll be singing hallelujah
He'll come beckoning the sky
He'll have learned to make some choices
He'll have fortified the why
And that little small voice
Tucked inside the ear

Chorus
