THIS MORNING BEFORE DAWN / A GOD CAME TO WAKE ME UP / THE CURTAINS THEY WERE DRAWN / AND MY SNORING HAD TO STOP / IT IS YOUR DADDY'S BIRTHDAY, / A TIME FOR GIFTS AND FLOWERS / TO BE PLACED ON HIS HEAD SO GRAY / INSTEAD OF HIS MORNING SHOWERS.
Honoré Daumier
This morning before dawn / A God came to wake me up / The curtains they were drawn / And my snoring had to stop / It is your daddy's birthday, / A time for gifts and flowers / To be placed on his head so gray / Instead of his morning showers.
