Snips and Nips

[Verse 1] Walked through the door, clipboard in hand

Nervous giggles, tryin’ hard to stand

Names like a punchline right outta a joke

Stumpy cleared his throat, Dusty nearly choked

Coffee in a styrofoam cup goes cold

Staring at the chart, trying to act bold

The instructor’s pen hovers in the air

She’s bracing for answers that aren’t quite fair

[Pre-Chorus] Here in this circle, secrets might slip

Matching awkward grins as the minutes tick

[Chorus] Stumpy and Dusty, sittin' in a folding chair

Names on a sticker, people try not to stare

Awkward smiles traded 'round the floor

Nobody's ever heard this saga before

[Post-Chorus] Oh-oh, snips and missing nips

Parenting class, what could possibly flip?

[Verse 2] Instructor asks us why we're here

Stumpy shrugs and scratches his ear

"Impulse control, family patrol!

I’m just missing a piece, but I’m still whole!"

Dusty winks, struts in cowboy boots

Says, "Life’s a striptease, but love’s a hoot

Got a story or two, some scars and pride

We’re just learning how to parent, not how to hide!"

[Pre-Chorus] We’re more than our quirks and our history

Building something new, full of mystery

[Chorus] Stumpy and Dusty, sittin' in a folding chair

Names on a sticker, people try not to stare

Awkward smiles traded 'round the floor

Nobody's ever heard this saga before

[Post-Chorus] Oh-oh, snips and missing nips

Parenting class, what could possibly flip?

[Bridge] Circle gets quiet, someone starts to laugh

Instructor glances down, skims the aftermath

Stumpy grins wide, says, “Hey, we’re just real!”

Dusty jumps in, “Honesty’s our parenting deal!”

Shared glances pass like a game of tag

Someone says, “Better odd than fake!”

Names don’t matter, not once class begins

Turns out everyone’s got their little sins

[Chorus] Stumpy and Dusty, sittin' in a folding chair

Names on a sticker, people try not to stare

Awkward smiles traded 'round the floor

Nobody's ever heard this saga before

[Post-Chorus] Oh-oh, snips and missing nips

Parenting class, what could possibly flip?

[Outro] We’ll raise ‘em quirky, raise ‘em strong

Family’s whatever gets you along

Stumpy and Dusty, perfectly strange

Parenting class, we’re all a little changed
