Here comes my son, here comes my son, and I say... oy
Little pisher, it's been a hot sticky humid summer
Little pisher, it seems like years since you mowed the lawn
Here comes my son, here comes my son, and I say... you're stupid
Little pisher, wipe that smile off your face
Little pisher, it seems like years since you combed your hair
What do you think you are, one of them crazy hippies from England rock stars?
Here comes my son, here comes my son, and I say... oy my back hurts
Son son son, here he comes
Son son son, what a bum
Son son son, have him hung
Son son son, better run
Son son son, where's my gun
Phasers on stun... make that kill... oy my back
Little pisher, it's so hot I'm sweating bullets
Little pisher, get me a beer... you shmuck
Here comes my son, here comes my son, and I say... oy
Here comes my son, here comes my son, and I say... oy
Oy

Title
Here Comes My Son
Back in 1987 I was working in a studio in Gainesville Florida... I got minimum wage, plus the run of the place after hours. This song was recorded on a brand new Otari 32-track analog 2-inch deck, using real guitars and drums and strings and stuff. It took forever. Back then, the 60s were only 17 years in the past, but recreating those sounds was still very tricky. I remember late nights, running back and forth from the booth to the control room... helping David figure out the cello parts... trying to get the stupid vocal part just right... it was a great time to be 21 years old. *
Now the 60s are 40,000 years away. Damn, I am OLD.
So it was 27 years ago that I recorded this idiotic song that I'd written with my high school pal Andy. Damn, I am REALLY OLD. Anyway, I pulled this out in a song-circle at a Christmas party last year, and it got a lot of laughs. Crazy... cause no one there was Jewish. I had to explain that the word "pisher" means "little boy." Other than that, everyone seemed to get it. I have no idea why.
When I sang this song in 2013, I made up a story about George Harrison's dad being Jewish... and how George stole a bunch of songs from his dad, and changed the words... and how this is the original version. People seemed to believe me. I have no idea why.
This song has a nice little Star Trek reference in the bridge. And I use a stupid voice. So that's nice.
