I was circumcised twice as a baby

The Rabi hides whenever he sees me

Oh the beaches come crashing

Like headaches from the ocean

I’d hold your hand but I’m allergic to that lotion

I knew a girl that hadn’t yet been gay

Shed let me kiss her so her friends could all see

We would dance in her kitchen and made breakfast from scraps

She coached a soccer team that won their final match

I moved to Michigan to be close to my family

I met a red head there that wanted to dance ballet

She moved in, started working at Whole Foods

Became unhappy and decided she should leave

Moved to NY to try and be a dancer

Now she works in a cafeteria at a private school

I married a doctor that never learned to cook

But she can dance better than that

redhead ever could

Now I coach soccer and my team is undefeated

Don’t cook scraps cause I have all I need

It’s just so sad

So sad

How you go from guy to dad. And it all takes so long to find out

The best thing you have is now
