[Verse 1]
This is a song about the first time
Franklin Delano Roosevelt fell in love
When he was 35 years old and lonely
This is a song about the things
That Teddy would shoot in the dark
On his way home from the Badlands
And it's a song for you

[Chorus]
'Cause I wonder what you might have looked like
When you were a little girl
And I wonder what you might look like today
La-da-di-da-di-di-da-di-di-da
La-da-di-da-di-di-da-di-di-da
La-da-di-da-di-di-da-di-di-da

[Verse 2]
And this is a song about the smell of asphalt
From the side of the car
When you were driving down doin' 80 by the mountains
And by the reservoir
And this is a song about the tiny boathouse
In the middlе of the reservoir
And all thе things that might live inside of them
Like ducks or geese or mushrooms or frogs
And it's a song for you
[Chorus]
'Cause I wonder what you might have looked like
When you were a little girl
And I wonder what you might look like today
And la-da-di-da-di-di-da-di-di-da
La-da-di-da-di-di-da-di-di-da
La-da-di-da-di-di-da-di-di-da

[Verse 3]
And I thought for a moment this was going to be a song
About the time we entered the reservoir together
And we ran under the rope together, walked around inside of it
But it isn't
And there was only one body there
And his name was Frank
And he'd been there a long--- over a hundred years
Even though there was over five more
And there was a fur under the casket
Anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway-way-way-way-way-way
That's not what this song was about

[Chorus]
But I wonder what you might have looked like
When you were a little girl
And I wonder what you might look like today
And la-da-di-da-di-di-da-di-di-da
La-da-di-da-di-di-da-di-di-da
La-da-di-da-di-di-da-di-di-da
[Verse 4]
And this is a song about my complete inability
To ever say anything that's ever actually on my mind
And my complete inability
To ever say anything of any value whatsoever
And this is a song about filling in the silences
This is a song about filling in the silences
This is a song, this is a song, is a song for you

[Bridge]
And la-di-da-di-da-di-da-da-da-da-da
La-di-da-di-da-di-da-da-da-da-da
La-di-da-di-da-di-da-da-da-da-da
La-di-da-di-da-di-da-da-da-da-da
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da-da-da

[Chorus]
'Cause I wonder what you might have looked like
When you were a little girl
And I wonder what you might look like
Today-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
And I wonder what you might have looked like
Under the wires
And I wonder what you might look like
Without all the steel
