LIZ PHAIR - Whip-smart lyrics
rate meI'm gonna tell my son to grow up pretty as the grass is green<br>And whip smart as the english channel's wide<br>And I'm gonna tell my son to keep his money in his mattress<br>And his watch on any hand between his thighs<br>And I'm gonna lock my son up in a tower till I write my whole life's story on the back of his big brown eyes<br><br>When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing<br>When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing<br>I'm gonna tell my son to join a circus so that death is cheap<br>And games are just another way of life<br>And I'm gonna tell my son to be a prophet of mistakes<br>Because for every truth there are half a million lies<br>And I'm gonna lock my son up in a tower till he learns to let his hair down<br>Far enough to climb outside<br><br>When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing<br>When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing
