Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Eb Db Ab Bb

ADAM:
       Eb
Look at this crib
       Bbm
In all of its glorious antiquary
   Ab
Every curve and surface speaks to me
    Db
Saying pamper and spoil me
C      Bb
Sand me and oil me
   Eb
Come on
        Cm
I know to the untrained eye it's boring
         Ab
But nothing's a chore when you're restoring
        Db
Apart from frustration, pain, and financial drain
   Cm
It's fun!

Folks say Adam
  Gm
Why do you polish your crib when you don't have a kid?

And even if you did have a kid,
   Fm
This crib is too precious for placing a baby inside it

So it simply exists to remind you
   Ab
Your sense of perfection is just a reflection that
Bb                        Cm
you are not mentally prepared to make room for a kid
           Eb
Adam, why don't you live?
          F
Adam, just make a start
                   Fm
Are you willing to take the next step?

Ready, set...
        A7
Ready, set...

BARBARA:
        D
Look at these jugs!
      A7
Amazingly glazed and terracotta-ery
       G
I took some clay and made you pottery
  C
The world will never wreck you
                 Bm
I'll protect you in a mother's embrace

Folks say, Barbara
F#m
Why can't you see that ceramics is

simply a manifestation of motherly panic
  Em
By making a baby that's breakable

Aren't you creating a way of translating the
     G
terror of making maternal mistakes into clay
A                         Bm
Hiding away so you don't have to face being a bad mom

Barbara
          D
That's what you've done, Barbara
       E
Just make a start

Are you willing to take the next step?

Ready, set...

BOTH:

A
Here we stand
         F#m
At the end of a 10-year plan
 D
A house, a yard, a minivan
A
A baby should be next

Together let's leap off the cliff
          B
Fall forever, then smash to bits
       D
Trapped in a terrifying viper pit

Of diapers and regret
    Bm                 E
Are we willing to take the next step?

Ready, set...

Ready, set...

BARBARA:

Not yet

ADAM:

Why rush?

BARBARA:

Why rush?

Soon enough, our hopes and our dreams will be crushed

BARBARA:

But not yet!

ADAM:

But not yet!

BARBARA:

  Em
Not now

ADAM,spoken:

Not now

Ooohh?

No!

See?

We can't start a family in a house with creaky floorboards

BARBARA:

You are absolutely right
   D
Let's add it to the list
     Am7
With the cracks in the plaster

ADAM:

  Em       G
The wi-fi should be faster

BARBARA:

   Em
This sofa needs a castor

ADAM:

   D
The bathroom's a disaster!

BARBARA:

   C
What about global poverty?

ADAM:

What about world peace?

BARBARA:

         G
Then there's the whole darn economy

ADAM:

The whole Middle East

BARBARA:

     Bb
We should learn Mandarin

ADAM:

Yeah!

Or Spanish at least.

BOTH:

  Ab
No habla español
     G     Em
Dos cervezas por favor
         F
And that's all we got

And that's not a lot
       Eb          Bb
Do we want a bilingual household or not?
  Cm
So let's go slow
  F
No breaking a sweat
      Cm
What's the point of having children
     F
If we're covered in debt?

BARBARA:

     Cm
Now we're totally

ADAM:

  Eb
Completely

BARBARA:

   Gb
Maybe eighty percent

ADAM:

     Ab
I'd say seventy-eight

BOTH:

Ready to take
     Bb    G
The next step (Yeah! Yeah! Yeah Yeah!)
     Bb    G
The next step (Zooby dooby dooby, dooby dop and bow!)
     Bb    G
The next step (Zweeby, beeby, boo-bah-bah-dee!)
     Db
The next step
Ab
Ready, set let's...
Gb
See I wasn't kidding
    F      Bb
It's a show about death!
