The Miracle Baby Lyrics by Austin Lounge Lizards

Strange Noises in the Dark

2003

The miracle was sent to Mama by Heaven
I hope to Heaven they'll send us some more of them
When I was three, my daddy went away
On a secret mission for the CIA
Oh, Mama, left alone, must carry on
How could she have known he'd be gone seven hundred days?
She tried to cheer me up when I was down
At night, she'd paint her face like a scary clown
Still I wished for a baby brother, or maybe a sister
'Cause I missed her when she had to go to town
When Daddy got back home, he was amazed
He declared the lord must work in mysterious ways
He was gone two years and back here my dreams came true
He shared his views about the happy news for days
Oh, look over yonder; the miracle baby lies sleeping
All watched over by Mama and Uncle Em
The miracle baby was sent to Mama by Heaven
And I hope to Heaven they'll send us some more of them
When Daddy left again, I was surprised
I reckoned he had to get back to his friends, the spies
And this mission, he said, was fixing to be a long one
Still, sometimes, he'd be watching us in disguise
After that, Mama always saw I got my fill
Of my bedtime toddy of whiskey and Benadryl
When the cock would crow, the ribbon motor would awake me
And Mom'd make breakfast for me and all the men from the mill
Oh, look over yonder; the miracle babies lie sleeping
All watched over by Mama and Uncle Em
([?], Tim, and Flim, and the rest of them)
The miracle babies were sent to Mama by Heaven
And I hope to Heaven they'll send us some more of them
Daddy promised next Easter he would bring a new sister with him
