Video Baby

Words and music by Scott D. Stieber

Video baby, video child
Drive your mama crazy, drive the old ones wild
How you gonna stay meek and mild?
Living in a video world
We got the lights, got the camera, got the camera crew
The whole wide world is looking right at you
Wondering what you’re gonna say and do
Living in a video world

Smile a little for papa
Take a sip from your loving cup
We’re getting this down on video
So you can watch yourself grow up

We got cable TV you won’t want to miss
Taste another morsel from your satellite dish
Just stay tuned we'll be back after this
Short commercial break
High adventure in Paris, chasing love through Rome
Somebody gnawing on your funny bone
When it’s done they leave you all alone
And they’ve taken all they can take

Everybody looks so pretty
As you flip from show to show
People selling you stuff you can’t use
Telling you things you all ready know

Video baby and his digital friends
Live in Video Town up around the bend
Playing for real or just pretend
At the video arcade
Where it’s hard to know which is which
You might be fighting in space or face down in a ditch
Gonna be tough to find your niche
When the games have all been played

We’ve got a video dating service
Where you can choose your video mate
You can ride off into the sunset
Gee whiz won’t that be great

Video baby, video child
Drive your mama crazy, drive the old ones wild
How you gonna stay meek and mild?
Living in a video world
We got the lights, got the camera, got the camera crew
The whole wide world looking right at you
Wondering what you’ll say and do
Living in a video world
We’re living in a video world
Living in a video world

We’re living in a video world
Living in a video world
You can bet your boots and your hula hoops
We’re living in a video world

We’re getting this on video
Aren’t we getting this on video
You can bronze your baby shoes and your Play Station II
We’re living in a video world
We’re living in a video world
We’re living in a video world
