’66 Wonder Where I’m From Songtext
von The Magnetic Fields

In Saint Thomas, barefoot Beatniks bonk
On a boat, afloat in rum
Is it there I′m from?
I wonder where I'm from

Up in Yonkers, two blocks from the Bronx
Baby born ′bout as big as your thumb
Is it there I'm from?
I wonder where I'm from

Never stayed in any one place two years
I was made in America, three cheers!
Until


Baden-Baden, in the BRD
Lederhosen on my baby bum
Is it there I′m from?
I wonder where I′m from

Rarely stayed in one place more than a year
I was made in the northern hemisphere
Um

All the seashells, tossed up on the shore
Contain the oceanic hum
They know where they're from
I wonder where I′m from
I wonder where I'm from
