Beautiful Songtext
von Paul Simon

Snowman sittin′ in the sun doesn't have time to waste
He had a little bit too much fun, now his head′s erased
Back in the house, family of three
Two doin' the laundry and one in the nursery
We brought a brand new baby back from Bangladesh
Thought we'd name her Emily
She′s beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful


Yes sir, head′s erased, brain's a bowl of jelly
Hasn′t hurt his sense of taste, judging from his belly
But back in the house, family of four now
Two doin' the laundry and two on the kitchen floor
We brought a brand new baby back from mainland China
Sailed across the China Sea
She′s beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful

Go-kart sittin' in the shade: you don′t need a ticket to ride
It's summertime, summertime, slip down a water slide
Little kid dancin' in the grass, legs like rubber band
It′s summertime, summertime
There′s a line at the candy stand
Keep an eye on them children, eye on them children in the pool
You better keep an eye on them children
Eye on them children in the pool

We brought a brand new baby back from Kosovo
That was nearly seven years ago
He cried all night
Could not sleep
His eyes were bright, dark and deep
Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
