C Sections and Railway Trestles - The Avett Brothers

Bum-bum, bum-ba-dum-ba-dum

Bum-bum, bum-ba-dum-ba-dum

Bum-bum, bum-ba-dum-ba-dum, dum

Bum-bum, bum-ba-dum-ba-dum

Bum-bum, bum-ba-dum-ba-dum

Bum-bum, bum-ba-dum-ba-dum, dum

You’re long and strong like a railway trestle

Dad’s just a muscle and mama just a vessel

Meant to call, fawn over, nuzzle and nestle

But dad’s just a bear you can tackle down and wrestle

Son, give me time I’m a bona fide mess’ll

If mama says no, maybe dad’ll say yes’ll

Did you do wrong?

Well, go ahead, confess’ll

Dad just a muscle and mama just a vessel

You all blue and your mama like a rattle

Came out looking like a Smurf in a battle

Me in the nosebleeds, mama in the saddle

Brave like a Sioux brave going into battle

Emotion going like a stampede of cattle

Real like rain and coffee in Seattle

Anesthesiologist fiddle and faddle

You all blue and your mama like a rattle

Bum-bum, bum-ba-dum-ba-dum

Bum-bum, bum-ba-dum-ba-dum

Bum-bum, bum-ba-dum-ba-dum, dum

Bum-bum, bum-ba-dum-ba-dum

Bum-bum, bum-ba-dum-ba-dum

Bum-bum, bum-ba-dum-ba-dum, dum

Oh, life so clear like a Rivera mural

Lucifer’s teeth introduce the epidural

Doctor Jones, do you need a heaven referral?

God sent you down to me and my girl

She’s long and tall and healthy as hell

But the plan went to hell when the little fella fell

Boy went headfirst into her pelvis

1956, shakin' like Elvis

Yesterday-born and already thinkin'

Body like a Ford and a mind like a Lincoln

Mama and papa in love and sinkin'

Into a brand new situation drinkin' up

Coffee like a fish on the second and third shift

Loving every single ever-loving minute of this

Standing ovation for the OR specialist

Let me get close, wanna give my son one kiss

On his head

Bum-bum, bum-ba-dum-ba-dum

Bum-bum, bum-ba-dum-ba-dum

Bum-bum, bum-ba-dum-ba-dum, dum

Bum-bum, bum-ba-dum-ba-dum

Bum-bum, bum-ba-dum-ba-dum

Bum-bum, bum-ba-dum-ba-dum, dum

Planning for the future;

health and dental

Picking up my baby boy easy and gentle

Soup for the family, sausage and lentil

Beans and greens, arugula and fentel

Don’t never sleep, I’m about to go mental

But nothing so far has been accidental

Can’t keep my life, so it’s gotta be a rental

Picking up my baby boy, easy and gentle

Oh, you’re long and strong like a railway trestle

Dad just a muscle and mama just a vessel

Meant to call, fawn over, cuddle and nestle

But dad’s just a bear you can tackle down and wrestle

You can have a pop-tent or you can have a castle

Try to change people but it’s gonna be a hassle

Don’t have to be an astronaut for NASA

But it’s always good to get a gown and a tassel

Son, have fun with your life it’s a drama

Just one period and all kinds of commas

Now you got a onesie but then you get pajamas

You know you’ve got me

And you know you’ve got your mama

Bum-bum, bum-ba-dum-ba-dum

Bum-bum, bum-ba-dum-ba-dum

Bum-bum, bum-ba-dum-ba-dum, dum

Bum-bum, bum-ba-dum-ba-dum

Bum-bum, bum-ba-dum-ba-dum

Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum
