Mama's Sunshine, Daddy's Rain

You got your mama's sunshine, you got your daddy's rain You're like a piece of heaven in a hurricane And it's bubbling over like a sweet champagne You got your mama's sunshine, you got your daddy's rain

All day long, right or wrong, you question everything Why the grass is green, can I stay up late, and why do the bluebirds sing Sometimes you cry, your big blue eyes, for no discernible reason Your point of view it comes and goes, like the changing of the seasons

You got your mama's sunshine, you got your daddy's rain You're like a piece of heaven in a hurricane And it's bubbling over like a sweet champagne You got your mama's sunshine, you got your daddy's rain

You act just like your father, yeah, you laugh at your own jokes You're pleased with your opinions, girl, you want the world to know We don't need no Mona Lisa, don't need Dali or Chagall You're like a miniature Picasso with your markers on the wall

You got your mama's sunshine, you got your daddy's rain You're like a piece of heaven in a hurricane And it's bubbling over like a sweet champagne You got your mama's sunshine, you got your daddy's rain

The things you say, the worlds you make, your heart I love to see You've got a leaf on every single branch of our family tree When you're all grown up, no longer a pup, going out into the great unknown You'll find that little piece of you that you can call your own

You got your mama's sunshine, you got your daddy's rain You're like a piece of heaven in a hurricane And it's bubbling over like a sweet champagne You got your mama's sunshine, you got your daddy's rain You got your mama's sunshine, you got your daddy's rain
