a red and gold book of photographs
i took one look and i had to laugh
the first thing i saw was baby me
i couldnt have been older than a couple of weeks

turned the page only to see
you and me sitting in a swing
you were still a teen
my shirt was green

turned another page
and then i saw little me
holding a teddy bear
grinning big with both of my teeth

then there was me in a cowboy suit
stickhorse and all, but where were my boots?

it must have been winter
because there was snow on the ground
it was cold out there
said my rosy red nose

the and next page was me  you
and a turtle
in a petting zoo
that thing coulda ate me and my mullet too

nothing much has changed since then
i still love you
sure, i was a little cuter back when

i was a little baby mexican
