Billy Bragg
I Was Born
[Verse 1]
I was born at half past twelve
Almost one in the morning
I was born at half past one
Almost two in the morning
Now my birthday comes again
And I don't know how old I am
Half past one or two or three
Almost four in the morning

[Verse 2]
I was born at half past four
Almost five in the morning
I was born at half past six
Almost seven in the morning
How old am I, you ask of me
One year younger than I used to be
Half past seven, half past eight
Half past nine in the morning

[Verse 3]
I was born at half past nine
Almost ten in the morning
I was born at half past ten
Almost 'leven in the morning
Today my age is tweedle and twee
I'm prettier than I used to be
Half past 'leven, half past 'leven
Almost twelve in the morning
