Digital man in his digital t-shirt
And a digital woman in a digital dress
Had a digital baby of a digital gender
In a digital bed in a digital maternity ward
They left through a digital doorway to a digital car
To a digital neighborhood it was a digital garden
Inside the digital home
Was a picture of a digital wife
It was painted by hand
And looked incredibly silly
?
Digital has no end
I'm not even sure how it began


My ass, if you can, oh
If you can, oh
Digitze my ass
Digitze my ass
If you can, oh
If you can, oh
Digitize my ass
If you can, oh

Lyrics

Digital man in his digital t-shirt And a digital woman in a digital dress Had a digital baby of a digital gender In a digital bed in a digital maternity ward

They left through a digital doorway to a digital car To a digital neighborhood it was a digital garden

Inside the digital home Was a picture of a digital wife It was painted by hand And looked incredibly silly ?

Digital has no end I'm not even sure how it began

My ass, if you can, oh If you can, oh Digitze my ass Digitze my ass If you can, oh If you can, oh Digitize my ass

If you can, oh

Lyrics: Mitchell Kane
