She Calls Everybody Baby

She Calls Everybody Baby
by Somebody By Himself

There's a cuddly plush infestation
In the corner room of our house
There's a teddy bear or two in there
A coupla ponies and a Minnie Mouse
There's a butterfly and a stingray
And a toddler in there too
And she's decided that she's the mommy
of the whole darn fluffy crew.

She calls everybody baby
Whether it's a horse or a cow or a goose
It's the high chair or the stroller
For the hedgehog and the moose
To her it doesn't matter
If they're black white or chartreuse
Because she calls everybody Baby
Baby, yeah

It's all kind of confusing
But nobody's to blame
The toymakers all tried their best
The toys all come with names
She just feeds them their bottles
And nobody complains
And it's so gosh darn cute
That I almost don't want to explain

How the red one's name is Elmo
And this monkey's name is Tarzan
And that monkey's name is Coconut
And that monkey's name is Bananas
And how'd you get so many monkeys?
And don't you think just maybe
One of them could have a different name?
And not just be called "baby"

So this cuddly plush infestation
Is probably here to stay
Taking care of her babies
Is her favorite game to play
She tucks them all into their beds
At the closing of the day
And though I don't understand it
I wouldn't have it any other way

She Calls Everybody Baby

By Steve Durand

Here comes miss pop star
With her entourage in tow
Breezin' into town
To lip-sync another show

Surrounded by her peeps
She's at the top of her game
She calls everybody baby
'Cause she can't remember all those names

The words of adulation
Can never be too loud
She gets exhilarated
Being in a crowd

She calls everybody baby (she calls everybody baby)
She calls everybody baby (she calls everybody baby)
She calls everybody baby (she calls everybody baby)
She calls everybody baby (she calls everybody baby)

Intoxicated
By the fortune and the fame
They're all drawn to her
Like insects to the flame

She feeds off the attention
It makes her feel alive
She calls everybody baby
'Cause to her they're all alike

Her avid fans
Put her on a throne
As long as she has money
She'll never be alone

She calls everybody baby (she calls everybody baby)
She calls everybody baby (she calls everybody baby)
She calls everybody baby (she calls everybody baby)
She calls everybody baby (she calls everybody baby)

[Paco Del Stinko]

She calls everybody baby, and it's driving me crazy
Wherever we go, she's gotta say hello
I could jump without a chute and yell Geronimo

She calls everybody baby
And it is driving me crazy

She used to make me feel shaky, like a chicken with no gravy
But wherever we are, she acts like a star
It makes me want to throw myself in front of a car


She calls everybody baby
And it is driving me crazy

She ain't exactly a lady, and she might know more than half of the navy
Wherever we've been, she knows all of the men
And they pass on by and nod and smile again and again and again


She calls everybody baby
And it is driving me crazy

She's a little bit crazy, though she ain't shown too much of it lately
But wherever we travel, she starts to unravel
It's hard not to judge but I ain't got a gavel


She calls everybody baby
And it is driving me crazy

[EvelBist]

Well, she calls everybody baby
but there aint no maybe
that girl will be mine tonight.

Bouncing tables short skirt high
drops the drinks and shows those thighs
looks over and smiles so wide
dancing eyes - o me o my

What it takes is just a smile
flip that wink and a bottle of wine
drink your breakfast one more time
look around, she's so fine.

Hey - she's everybody's baby
but a little bit of patience
and taking my time
Yeah - she calls everybody baby
but there aint no maybe
that girl will be mine tonight.

A California dream from the midwest
Found her way to LA and never left
Ever since she did she doesn’t spend a night by herself
All the men she meets want to share the wealth

C: D Em Bm A x4

She's been hanging around lately
She calls everybody baby
She acts just a little crazy
She calls everybody baby

A bikini girl washed up on the beach
The stars she saw were just out of reach
She gave it all she had until nothing was left
Living day to day she did her best

She's been hanging around lately
She calls everybody baby
She acts just a little crazy
She calls everybody baby

She Calls Everybody Baby
by Brown Word and the Big Whine

Once I went to the hospital
I went there to help my head
Thought I had some bad ideas
Needed time to stay in bed

Mary Maria Loretta Lorraine, she calls everybody baby
She had no idea where she was
Was it Hennepin Avenue catching a bus
Or sipping champagne in the Grand Hotel
It’s always nineteen forty-five you can tell

The sociopath held sway in the dayroom
While the career addict wisely opined
The drunk from last night has finally stopped shaking
The bipolar lady beginning to cry

The pretty nurse turns out to be mean
The fat one brings us the pills
The doctor is off on an ego trip
And our friend the janitor mops up the spills

I tried to tell my story in song
The way things looked, it just couldn’t be right
Until I came here and saw just how wrong
Everything can suddenly become

Mary Maria Loretta Lorraine, she called us all baby
Twirling in the park like Mary Tyler Moore
Or dropping from a window on the 13th floor
Never having to know where you are
Is the comforting part of being lost
