You know we could have had a daughter and we could have named her Anna
And she would have been a sweetheart but with punk rock manners
Could have supported us when we retired, bought us a cottage near the countryside
You could have taught her to play hockey
I could have taught her the guitar
And her granddad could have shown her the way to the bar
Could have supported us when we retired, bought us a cottage near the countryside
We would have made the neighbours jealous
We could have barbecues at nights
With our collected brain resources she would have an IQ of a 155
Could have supported us when we retired, bought us a cottage near the countryside
She should have won the Nobel prize and thank her mama for all the good advice
And we could have gone swimming near that cottage by the lake
And she would never had to know what it's like when your heart breaks
Could have supported us when we retired, bought us a cottage near the countryside
She could have supported us when we retired, bought us a cottage near the countryside
She would have married a Kennedy
She would have found the cure for HIV
I'm real sorry Anna you never got to be
Cause your daddy moved on and he left me
She could have supported us when we retired, bought us a cottage near the countryside
