Mickey Mouse in baby’s bed
Big eyes big ears a bursting head
When baby screams the money flows
When baby dreams a soul is sold

Chorus
How can you raise a child?
How can you raise a child?
The oceans rise the sky is wild

And now we shop for air
And now we shop for air
Make a life and end it there

Baby baby what ya buyin?
Eyes go here eyes go there
Too late to cry – buyer beware
Baby baby what ya buyin?


Who’s expected who’s outside
Baby sleeps but cannot hide
The doorknob turns we cannot move
Oh no! The toy we can’ t refuse

Killer logo in baby’s house
On daddy’s shoes on momma’s blouse
On sister’s breath on brother’s sweats
On toys on bombs on TV sets

Chorus

The products meet in the childrens’ ward
What do you think they’re waiting for
The new consumer, the baby king
The one who will buy anything

Superman takes baby’s hand
Up in the sky to the ATM
Remove your cash the fun begins
We just spend and we spend and we spend
and we spend and we spend again

Baby baby what ya buyin?
Eyes go here eyes go there
Too late to cry - buyer beware
Baby baby what ya buyin?
Baby baby what ya buyin?
what ya buyin?
what ya buyin?
How can you raise a child?
Baby baby what ya buyin?
