You may recognize the reference to Dylan's classic "It's All Over Now Baby Blue" - written by Dylan and recorded in January 1965 - from the album "Bringing It All Back Home" which was released in March of the same year. This guy was a junior in high school and Pete was 13 years in the future...
Please sing or hum to the same tune.
You must birth soon, time to show, Sara will help you.
But whenever you wish to be, you better not be blue.
Yonder stands your father with his gun,
Praying like a monk in the sun.
Look out the doctors are comin' through
And it's almost time now Baby Drew.
Your bedroom is for nursing, lucky you big boy.
When you get home, check out the bright new toy.
The nurse in the next bedroom is Meghan,
She's pretty and cool, cause she's been keggin'.
Pete and Jack can't wait to play with you.
And it's almost over Baby Drew.
All your new friends like Charlie H hope you're cool.
No one wants a best friend who's a total tool.
The mother who just birthed you is glad
And she's ready to hand you off to Dad.
We're ready to hear you cry and coo.
It's almost over Baby Drew.
You're a Beaver and maybe a Red Sox someday.
Hate the Ducks, you'll be watching TV on gameday.
Your father Pete is standing in the door
In the old uniform that he once wore.
Come on out kid, we want to meet you!
It's almost time now Baby Drew.
Love,
Dad
