The lyrics come from the classic book And That Kid Is Me (translated to English as It’s Me), a collection of poems from the perspective of a young child in actual child-like language (rather than the customary literary language used hitherto), by Yehuda Atlas. The book came out in 1977 and was a major hit that sparked several follow-up books over the years, as well as a record featuring various poems from the book set to music. This song, like the original poem, appears last in the album/book.
