congratulations
looks like you finally made it, boy
you're a real major-leauger now
mama must be so, so proud

the word around
is that your nest was too cozy
see, some words are like bricks
and so we built our fortresses

you're on your own now, boy
i bet you got the whole world figured out
one man cleans up after the pony
and another man rides that pony out
and prances around
isn't that what you were trained for
but your words weigh you down
you built your nest of bricks
built your nest of bricks

all (we say)
we are (today)
is all (we say)
we'll be (tomorrow)
