Watching belly grow
There's so much I would like to know
Such a strange affair
Is it really there?
Is it really so?

Doctor knows what's best
Little work and a little rest
Don't misunderstand
He's a clever man
You can trust his test 

But time will come that doctors want to know
What you would like
Or what you would prefer
A boy or a girl
Then you'll look at her
And not find the words 

Now what do you want?
Daughter or son
Picking the one
Daughter or son

Science taking giant steps
It's bringing back the fun
What do you want?
Daughter or son? 

Man controlling life
So afraid he might not survive
If you only knew
What they're doing to keep us all alive 

Such a big mistake
To decide if we give or take
Little mystery
Waiting patiently
For its time to wake 

But time will come that doctors want to know
What you would like
Or what you would prefer
A boy or a girl
Then you'll look at her
And not find the words

Now what do you want?
Daughter or son
Picking the one
Daughter or son.
