Lyrics

Clara Jo

Clara Jo, we wrote you a song
We can't wait for you to come along
But don't you hurry, and don't you worry
Cause we're ancient and impatient

It's just that we are so excited
And to say that we're delighted
Is an understatement
Cause our await-ment
Feels more special than our words could ever say

And we'll be ready for you on that day

To welcome you into our family
Mama and Daddy and you equals three
Oh and Dexter makes four

What a lovely even number
And now we can't help but wonder
‘Bout the color of your hair 

And will your skin be fair?
Or will you have a tan
before you're three?

Oh whoever you turn out to be
Whatever personality

Young lady pretty soon you’ll see

When you arrive we'll dance and sing
And it won’t be some old do-re-mi

No, the world will play a symphony

And everyone who hears it's gonna know
It's a love song for a girl named Clara Jo
