Lyrics & Translation

[English]

where did I come from well you see son

baby geese come from a little egg don't

ask me where the egg comes from God

that's not what I meant I know it's not

I think it's time I told you something I

should have told you a long time ago

okay you might have been kind of adopted

I knew it you knew well who told you no

one I mean come on dad but if you knew

why didn't you ever say anything why

didn't you say anything

how did I get here dad where did I come

from

actually you came from this it was just

another day at the restaurant time to

make the noodles I went out to the back

where my vegetables had just been

delivered there were cabbages turnips

radishes only there were no radishes

just a very hungry baby panda there was

no note of course you could have eaten

it waited for someone to come looking

for you but no one did

[Music]

and brought you inside

did you give you a bath and fit you

again and try to put some pants on and

then I made a decision that would change

my life forever to make my soup with

Ultra dishes and to raise you as my own

son Paul my little panda and from that

moment on both my soup and my life have

been that much sweeter a little Bowl

that's the end of the story

[Music]

you

[Music]

Key Grammar Structures

• where did I come from well you see son

  ➔ Question formation, Tag question/discourse marker

  ➔ The sentence begins with a question, "where did I come from?", using auxiliary verb 'did' for past tense. 'Well' functions as a discourse marker, indicating a pause and the start of an explanation. 'You see' is a common phrase used to invite the listener to understand.

• baby geese come from a little egg don't

  ➔ Simple present tense, Tag question

  ➔ The sentence uses the simple present tense to state a general truth. The 'don't' at the end is a tag question, seeking confirmation.

  ➔ Past perfect modal (should have + past participle), Subjunctive mood (it's time)

  ➔ "should have told" expresses regret about a past action. "It's time" introduces a subjunctive clause, implying a need or obligation.
