lyrics

BABY NINJA

I shoulda been a ninja
Ninja’s in my blood
You can tell by the way I woke you up
And left you going “Wha—t?”
I shoulda been a ninja—
Taking on the fights
I shoulda been a ninja
Maybe I’ll start tonight

Verse:
1-2-3-4
I’ll hide behind the bathroom door
5-6-7-8
I’ll jump right over that baby gate
And I hear every single thing you say
Though I don’t talk yet
So don’t mistake my silence for ignorant bliss

Chorus:
I’m a baby ninja – HA!
I’m a baby ninja – POW!
I’m a baby ninja – BAM!
I’ll sneak through the house
I’ll swish in and out
I’ll crawl like a ninja – HI-YAH!

I shoulda been a ninja
Ninja’s in my blood
You can tell by the way I flung my bottle
And left you going “Wha—t?”
I shoulda been a ninja—
Taking on the fights
I shoulda been a ninja
Maybe I’ll start tonight

Verse 2:
A-B-C-D
I’ll leap out of the clean laundry
E-F-G-H
I’ll weave between the table legs
And I’ll stick every single thing
Inside my mouth to check it out
I’ll use all senses mapping out this whole place

Chorus:
I’m a baby ninja – HA!
I’m a baby ninja – POW!
I’m a baby ninja – BAM!
I’ll sneak through the house
I’ll swish in and out
I’m stealthy – HI-YAH!

Bridge:
Disarmin—ly charmin’
At times I’m a little alarmin’
ZAZINGA! I’ll sing ya
My ninja song
It won’t take long
I know you think I’m crying
But I’m really practicing
WAH! WAH! BAM! BAM! ZAZINGA! How’d ya like that?!
So sneaky, it’s freaky
Distract ya when I get squeaky
I’ll float like a bubble
And sting like a diaper rash
Oh you think I’m crying
But I’m really practicing
WAH! WAH! KABLAM! KAPOW! Hey, check out my stance!
I could fill this diaper in a New York minute
Just when you think you’ve got me figured out
I’m gonna change – KABOOM!

Chorus:
I’m a baby ninja – HA!
I’m a baby ninja – POW!
I’m a baby ninja – BAM!
I’ll sneak through the house
I’ll swish in and out
I’ll crawl like a ninja – HI-YAH!
