[00:28.07]It might be fun to have a kid that I could kick around
[00:30.96]A little me to fill up with my thoughts
[00:33.11]A little me or he or she to fill up with my dreams
[00:37.34]A way of saying life is not a loss
[00:40.49]I'd keep the tyke away from school and tutor him myself
[00:44.23]Keep him from the poison of the crowd
[00:46.72]But then again pristine isolation might not be the best idea
[00:50.96]It's not good trying to immortalize yourself
[00:53.84]Beginning of a great adventure
[00:58.44]Beginning of a great adventure
[01:06.85]Why stop at one, I might have ten, a regular TV brood
[01:14.23]I'd breed a little liberal army in the wood
[01:18.17]Just like these redneck lunatics I see at the local bar
[01:21.46]with their tribe of mutant inbred piglets with cloven hooves
[01:25.35]I'd teach 'em how to plant a bomb, start a fire, play guitar
[01:28.28]And if they catch a hunter, shoot him in the nuts
[01:31.53]I'd try to be as progressive as I could possibly be
[01:34.77]As long as I don't have to try too much
[01:38.51]Beginning of a great adventure
[01:43.09]Beginning of a great adventure
[01:50.42]Susie, Jesus, Bogart, Sam, Leslie, Jill and Jeff
[01:59.15]Rita, Winny, Andy, Fran and Jet
[02:01.73]Boris, Bono, Lucy, Ethel, Bunny, Reg and Tom
[02:05.57]That's a lot of names to try not to forget
[02:09.32]Carrie, Marlon, Mo and Steve, La Rue and Jerry Lee
[02:12.45]Eggplant, Rufus, Dummy, Star and The Glob
[02:15.49]I'd need a damn computer to keep track of all these names
[02:19.68]I hope this baby thing don't go too far
[02:22.62]I hope it's true what my wife said to me
[02:26.06]I hope it's true what my wife said to me, hey
[02:30.09]I hope it's true what my wife said to me
[02:33.38]She says, "Baby, it's the beginning of a great adventure
[02:38.71]Babe, beginning of a great adventure"
[02:44.89]Take a look
[03:22.12]It might be fun to have a kid that I could kick around
[03:24.77]Create in my own image like a god
[03:27.40]I'd raise my own pallbearers to carry me to my grave
[03:31.19]And keep me company when I'm a wizened toothless clod
[03:34.80]Some gibbering old fool sitting all alone drooling on his shirt
[03:38.49]Some senile old fart playing in the dirt
[03:41.33]It might be fun to have a kid I could pass something on to
[03:45.27]Something better than rage, pain, anger and hurt
[03:49.26]I hope it's true what my wife said to me
[03:52.31]I hope it's true what my wife said to me
[03:55.92]I hope it's true what my wife said to me
[03:59.25]She says, "Lou, it's the beginning of a great adventure
[04:04.65]Lou, Lou, Lou, beginning of a great adventure"
[04:10.25]She says, babe, how you call your lover boy
[04:18.77]Sylvia, quite you call your lover man
