about

I was neither born nor did I father a child in the early 1970's. For those keeping score at home, this is the least autobiographical song on the album.

lyrics

I knew your mother
She knew me too
We danced in a Brooklyn bar back in 1972
And when the DJ played Ma Belle Amie
I took her home and woke up alone
And you were born in ‘73

But if you were me
Then you would see
Why I just had to let things be
I couldn’t go on singing a song
Knowing the words were wrong

I knew your mother
She knew me too
Not very well as you can probably tell
But that’s the tale of how we made you
We danced in a Brooklyn bar back in 1972
