Odysseus
by @darcistrutt
Liner Notes
My daughter is bringing me my 9th grandchild, a boy. He's still a bump in her tummy but the parents are thinking on names. Odysseus has hit a funny bone, so it needed a song. #FUC
Lyrics
I feel the need to apologize in advance With all this joking there is a chance Though it is not your name officially You’re partially Odysseus to me
Don’t call the baby Odysseus It means the one who causes pain If you do other people May think you are insane Though since you mentioned it It is a fun name to say So we refer to the baby bump As Odysseus for today
Your Mom and Dad are both very kind I’m sure that they have another name in mind There is a chance if you don’t win favor You might get that name after labor
Chorus
Comments
This is so gentle and funny, full of anticipation for the arrival of a new little human.
Shades of Lehrer in this, so fun! Wonderful vocal performance, short and sweet.
This is so fun Mom! Sounds rather royal/regal. I love how you put everything together. I think I will have to decide on a name solidly before I’m in labor. Otherwise I would’ve named one of my kids Odysseus, lol.
