about

"This is one of those songs that just appeared. It's been an integral part of my repertoire for years but I don't recall where I was or when I wrote it. My producer, Tom, kept trying me to play a second guitar line he had in mind and I couldn't get what he was after so finally he showed me. It sounded great and I just told him to play himself. Came out quite nice." - Lach

lyrics

Baby what’s the matter?
Come tell your daddy what’s wrong
Come now baby you’re safe in your daddy’s arm
Oh daddy, I’m uncertain what to do with my life

Baby, that’s easy, just make someone a good wife

Who are these strangers in my house?
Mama’s in the kitchen
Daddy’s in the den
Mama’s being Barbie
Daddy’s being Ken
She’s the little woman
And he’s the little man
And I’m called crazy because I’m not normal like them

Baby, what’s the matter?
Come tell your mommy what’s wrong
Come now baby you’re safe in your mommy’s arms
Oh mama what’s this drama you cast me in

Baby, that’s easy we’re different than men

Who are these strangers in my house?
Mama’s in the kitchen
Daddy’s in the den
Mama’s being Barbie
Daddy’s being Ken
She’s the little woman
And he’s the little man
And I’m called crazy because I’m not normal like them

Hey mister have you seen her?
Have you seen our missing child?
Here is her picture
We took it last July

Oh lady, I ain’t seen her and even if I did
I’d tell her, listen, they’re looking for you kid

Who are these strangers in your house?
Mama’s in the kitchen
Daddy’s in the den
Mama’s being Barbie
Daddy’s being Ken
She’s the little woman
And he’s the little man
And I’m called crazy because I’m not normal like them
Like them
Like them
