My Baby Doesn't Smile

My baby doesn't smile
No matter what I do
I bought him a new crib
New bibs
And a pair of those little Jordans
My baby doesn't smile
It's like he knows
What this world has in store for him
I try to sugarcoat it
By the time he reaches my age
I just know this world will be better for him
But alas
No matter how many toys I buy him
No matter which Disney characters I stick to his wall
My baby doesn't smile
Mickey Mouse never seen these problems
I play peek-a-boo with him
He's unamused 
I make a funny face
He turns his lip up
I go goo goo gah gah 
And he turns away from me
I think I've offended him
It's no use
This world has made my son cynical already
Barely a year old
And he has us all figured out
My baby doesn't smile
