Lyrics

Now we're in the car, it rained a minute ago

Setting the scene in a car after a recent rain.

And so funny it was, to hear daddy say

Humorously recalling a moment when the speaker's father spoke.

To hear daddy say "da–"

Repeating the phrase "da–" that the father said, perhaps emphasizing its peculiar nature.


And then, and then, and then

Repetition of the phrase "And then," suggesting a sequence of events.

And then you, and then you

-

And now we're on a vacation

Transitioning to a vacation scenario.

Mommy got sick, she's in the hospital

Revealing that the speaker's mother is sick and in the hospital.

In bed and, and it was pretty funny

Finding humor in the situation despite the mother's illness.

Just to hear that, but

Reflecting on the humor of the situation while in the car.

In the car

Reiterating the car setting as a backdrop for the narrative.

And they can't say something nice to me

Feeling unappreciated, as others cannot say something nice to the speaker.

But right now, y'know?

Expressing the current emotional state with "y'know?"


Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam

Repetition of the onomatopoeic sound "Bam," possibly reflecting a rhythmic or percussive element.

Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam

-

Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam

-

Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam

-

Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam

-

Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam

-

Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam

-

Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam

-

Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam

-

Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam

-

Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam

-

Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam

Continuation of the rhythmic "Bam" pattern, possibly serving as a concluding element.
