'66: Wonder Where I'm From - 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
