Baby you’re a firework
and it was in your hand
and it was a small animal
and it was bubble gum on their lip
and it was a balloon of helium
and it gave them a funny voice
and it was a box of nerds
no, it was a licorice strap of fluorescent nerds
and they put it on their tongue
and it popped and crackled
and there were fireworks
and there was a cake that was chocolate
and it had marshmallows on it
and she said who do think you are it’s not your birthday you’re not that important
