Belly buttons are fun
Too bad you only get one
They either go out or go in
But either way you still win

They connected you to your mom
So they’re kind of where you come from
That’s how she fed you through there
And that’s how she got you your air

Chorus:
Oh, belly buttons are fun
Too bad you only get one
They either go out or go in
But either way you still win

On the day you came out
The whole room gave a big shout
You weren’t quite looking your best
But we all loved you nevertheless

We cut your umbilical cord
And we tied it up in a knot
And the souvenir you took home
Was the bellybutton you got

Chorus

So next time you look at your belly
And you’re thinking that thing just looks silly
Remember it played a big part
Of your life right at the start

And some day if you have a kid
You’re gonna nurture them like your mom did
Through that funny looking small hole
That’s the bellybutton we know

Chorus
