We Made Kids - Lyric

There are five songs about being a parent or grandparent in Regretting Almost Everything:

We Made Kids , Waiting Up, Elle, The Baby Likes Me Best, and Fatherhood.

Below are the lyrics to our first single, We Made Kids:

WE MADE KIDS,
WE MADE KIDS.
TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE DID!
THEY’VE GOT ARMS AND LEGS AND FACES,
AND AN EGO AND AN ID.
WE’RE IN AWE, IT’S UNREAL,
OH, THE WONDERMENT WE FEEL.
AND WE DID IT WITHOUT TRYING!
MOM IS KVELLING,
DAD IS FLYING.
THERE IS NOTHING GREATER
THAN A PROCREATOR
WHO MAKES KIDS.
WE MADE KIDS,
WE MADE KIDS!

THEY EAT ROCKS.
THEY EAT DIRT.
WIPE THEIR HANDS ON DADDY’S SHIRT.
THEY HAVE DOG HAIR IN THEIR DINNER,
AND EAT BOOGERS FOR DESSERT.
AND THE POOP. THE BOUQUET!
EVEN SCARES THE DOG AWAY.
YET I WIPE A TINY TUSHY,
AND MY INSIDES GET ALL MUSHY!
LOVE IS MONUMENTAL,
WHEN YOU GO PARENTAL
AND MAKE KIDS.
WE MADE KIDS.
WE MADE KIDS.

OH…THEY HAVE TO LOVE US.
EVEN THOUGH SOME DAY THEY’LL HATE US.
THEY DEPEND ON US FOR FOOD.
THEY DEPEND ON US FOR DRINK.
THEY’RE STUCK WITH US-
NO MATTER WHAT THEY THINK.

HOLD A HAND.
FEEL A TUG.
WRAP’M IN A GIANT HUG.
WHEN SHE’S CRABBY,
WHEN HE’S ANXIOUS,
THEY ARE BETTER THAN A DRUG.
THEY ARE PROOF WE WERE RIGHT,
WE WERE DESTINED TO UNITE!
WE DON’T MEAN TO SOUND CONCEITED,
BUT THEY’RE WHAT THE WORLD HAS NEEDED.
EVEN GOD’S ELATED
THAT WE PROPAGATED,
AND MADE KIDS.
PERFECT KIDS.
WE MADE KIDS.

“The song will make listeners rotate between getting chills and laughing out loud. It also brilliantly showcases Ms. Leavel and Mr. Blumenkrantz’s vocal chemistry.”
