The Lyrics
Conceived in the state of euphoria, and born in the state of shock
Con-ceived in the heat of love
The first slap I felt came by a doctor’s glove
I cried out like a pig that is be-ing snuffed
And when they cut the cord I had had enough, now
Born in the state of shock
I was
Born in the state of shock
I was
Born in the state of shock
Born in the state of shock, now
OFF! with that little flap of skin
Doctor with a scalpel… plunging in
Whacked it off with no time to loose
Guess eight day waits are for the Jews
Born in the state of shock
I was
Born in the state of shock
I was
Born in the state of shock
I was
Born in the state of shock
Whisked from mom to the nursery
Almost like a draft into “the infantry”
Rank and file sleeping tiny tots
With standard issue Army cots now
(instrumental break)
My dad and mother, rushed me home
Showing off to every one
I was scared, it t’wernt fun
There was this neighbor who smoked in my face
He puffed his cigar it seemed out of place, uhh!
Sick from the drive home I got colicky
Up shot the liquids they had given me
My first time burping - lost my lunch
Newborn babies sure can raise a fuss
Born in the state of shock
I was
Born in the state of shock,now
Born in the state of shock
I’m a bald head baby in the state of shock, now
Born in the state of shock
Born in the state of shock
Born in the state of shock
I’m a drool drippin’ baby in the state of shock, now

What Alvin said.

To make things worse, it's all downhill from there.
Funny, funny stuff, Lionel. If you get through that first year without developing any neuroses, you've done well! 555
