So Chic


I found this and thought I would share.

Apparently the song doesn't play for some, so here are the lyrics:

It's so chic to be pregnant at Christmas

I feel like the "round yon virgin" of yore,

'Cause though I have a warm bed to sleep in

There's no room for me when I go to the store.

'Cause the aisles are so narrow and crowded--

Christmas shopping has never been such a pain (gasp)

Here comes another Braxton-Hicks contraction

And I'm knockin' over knick-knacks again.

Oh, the salesclerks are so friendly this Christmas

One said, "Oh God, lady, don't have it here--"

Their discretion and manners go right out the door,

When I and my stomach appear.

People like to put their hands on my fundus,

And they want to know exactly when I'm due

I say, "Why do you care? Are you planning to be there?

I could use an extra labor coach or two!"

I am such fun at a party

Trying hard to get high on life

Desperately avoiding the smokers

Being introduced as someone's "little wife" (Not-so-little wife).

No, I enjoy being pregnant at Christmas

Though my identity is draining away

And if I ever get asked my opinion again

I'll simply smile and continue to...crochet?

It's so Biblical to be pregnant at Christmas,

No matter what stories you believe.

And I may suffer from gravid senilis...and heartburn and nausea and charlie horses and overwhelming fatigue...and frequent micturation and varicose veins and...swollen ankles and shortness...of breath...and that...tired, achy feeling in the grooooooin...

But I won't be alone on New Year's Eve!

Fa-La-La-La-La La-La La La!

It looks like this song is from an album called "Momnipotent," which includes other humorous selections:

1. I'm Babbling
2. It's So Chic to be Pregnant at Christmas
3. Memo to Droola
4. Child on Board
5. Suzy Money Gone Away
6. Everything Turn to Ratshit in My Life
7. Momnipotent
8. Stroller Ladies
9. Daughters of Feminists
10. Leonard Cohen's Never Gonna Bring My Groceries In
11. Mammas Have a Secret
12. The Children's Entertainer
13. Open That Can

Sorry about that, but it's probably for the best... now I can't get the tune out of my head. :)
