lyrics

When you give your child a ridiculous name (Andromeda)
By trying to be different you all end up the same
The kid won’t like it
No, the kid won’t like it

When you give your child a ridiculous name (Balthazar)
Remember he’s from England not the orient are
The kid won’t like it
No, the kid won’t like it

And if the kids don’t like it
Well then they’re gonna let you know
So don’t get too excited
Cos they may never let it go
Just to make matters worse
You’ve given them a lifetime curse
That they’re reminded of when the summers gone
And it’s back to school again and the teacher won’t use the middle name

When you give your child a ridiculous name (Freedom)
It’s cruel and self-indulgent and you should be ashamed
The kid won’t like it
No, the kid won’t like it

(Spoken section)
And did you know (What’s up) that there are now a million Ethan’s in the UK
Even though there is only a travelling population of around 80 thousand – work that one out (Well I’ve got a niece called Coriander – quite nice name actually)

When you give your child a ridiculous name (Jazzerus)

The kid won’t like it
No, the kid won’t like it.
The kid won’t like it
No the kid won’t like it
The kid won’t like it
No, the kid won’t like it

Anyway, what’s wrong with John?
