LITTLE KAWAI 
Walter Becker


Here's a note from one Miss Turnbull 
Certain homework was not done 
Tiny holes in brand new windows 
From an unknown BB gun 
Cinder Annie and your Big Mommie 
Say the facts all point to you 

But they don't love you 
Little Kawai 
Not the way that I do 
Not the way that I do 

That new squirt gun 
Eric got you 
Don't you aim it over here 
That's a mean song Eldon taught you 
I no longer wish to hear 
And where he says babies come from 
This is not completely true 

That's a tall one 
Little Kawai 
And those bad boys 
They don't love you 
Not the way that I do 

In the morning in spite of everything 
We'll go driving in our car 
Straight to IHOP where it's well-known 
The world's junkest pancakes are 
Maple syrup on those french fries 
They say it's no good for you 

But you're still growing 
Little Kawai 
What do they know 
Do they love you 
Not the way that I do 
Not the way that I do
