A song protesting traditional maternity roles, “Little Babies” was the lead single off of Sleater-Kinney’s third studio album Dig Me Out. The song quickly became a fan favorite with its catchy chorus and classic call and response vocals from Tucker and Brownstein.
I'm the water I'm the dishes I'm the suds
(It's all good, it's all good, baby I wish, I wish you would)
I will comfort, make you clean, help you cope
(It's so bad, it's so bad, baby I wish [?])
When you're tired feeling helpless
Come inside I am the shelter
(You're so fine, you're so fine, wouldn't you, couldn't you be mine)
And then when you're feeling better I'll
Watch you go
(And you need more, you need more, baby I need a little bit more)
Dum dum dee dee dum dum dee dum do
All the little babies go oh oh I want to
Dum dum dee dee dum dum dee dum yeah
Rock the little babies with one two three
Are you hungry?
Did you eat before the show?
(It's all good, it's all good, baby I know we [?])
I peeled potatoes set the table washed the floor
(It's so bad, it's so bad, baby I wish, I wish we [?])
I know the others treat you rough
And when you know you've had enough
(You're so fine, you're so fine baby, wouldn't you, couldn't you be mine)
You'll come and see me 'cause you know
I'm always here
(And you need more, you need more, baby just a little bit little bit more)
Dum dum dee dee dum dum dee dum do
All the little babies go oh oh I want to
Dum dum dee dee dum dum dee dum yeah
Rock the little babies with one two three four
Momma's little helper
(We need more, need more, need more just a little bit more)
Momma's little helper
Momma's little helper
(We need more, need more, need more just a little bit more)
Momma's little helper
Dum dum dee dee dum dum dee dum do
All the little babies go oh oh I want to
Dum dum dee dee dum dum dee dum yeah
Rock the little babies with one two three four
