I'm a Friend of the Foetus - Carole Rose Livingston
[Refrain]
Oh, I'm a friend of the foetus,
A friend of incomparable worth.
Yes, I'm a friend of the foetus,
Right up to the moment of birth.
I am no friend to the fathers and mothers
And I am no friend to the sisters and brothers,
And I am no friend to the weak and distressed,
And I am no friend to the poor and oppressed,
[Repeat Refrain]
Once it's a baby, I will not go near it,
I will not feed it and I will not rear it ,
And when it is crying I won't even hear it,
For I have no room in my heart for a human,
[Repeat Refrain]
I will not care for it, I won't be there for it,
I will not weep for it, I won't lose sleep for it,
I'll back away from it, I won't go gray from it,
I won't even pray for it, and I won't pay for it,
[Refrain]
But I'm a friend of the foetus,
A friend of incomparable worth,
Yes, I'm a friend of the foetus,
Right up to the moment of birth,
When it needs friends (wail),
Right up to the moment of birth.
