Not Yet Three
Could you sleep at a time like this?
Hearing Oldsmobiles traveling from town to town
I hear the older kids run past the trees in the mist
I hear them laugh in the breeze as the sun goes down
You think I should be fading now
That's because I'm not yet three
But my strength still ain't abating now
I'm stronger than you
You're simply bigger than me
Well, yonder the sun has turned the town bright yellow
I love twilight more than you do, Hello
You don't love twilight as much as me
Why don't you take the nap and let the baby be
You think I should be tired now
But my body's all inspired now
And yes it's true that I'm not yet three
But I'm stronger than you
You're simply bigger than me
Look, I sat up in my crib and you didn't like that
So now I have to lie down flat on my back
I can't get out of this thing
I can't get out of here
But if you think I'm sleeping, oh no, that's all mistaken
That's right
You think I should be dozing now
But my cheeks are still a rosing now
And yes it's true that I'm not yet three
It doesn't matter, I'm stronger than you
You're simply bigger than me
Well now if what you've done is grown up, I hate to clue ya
I just plain don't like you and I'm telling this to ya
You know about history and geometry
But you don't know enough to just let the baby be
And you think I should be tired now
That's because I'm not yet three
My body's all inspired now
In fact, I'm stronger than you
You're simply bigger than me
O.K.
Yes
