Ugly Kid Joe – Milkman's Son Lyrics 13 years ago
Back decades ago it was quite common for a man to bring deliveries of fresh milk to your door everyday. People used to joke about the housewives having affairs with the milkman, therefore a milkman's son would be an illegitimate child.

Some people have though that maybe this song is refering to him feeling like an outcast, but when I would listen to the song, it never quite fit with the rest of the lyrics or the tone of the song. All these years I didn't understand what the heck he may have meant by "feeling like the milkman's son".

But then all of a sudden tonight I got a thought about the saying "In the land of milk & honey" & thought maybe he was refereing to this saying, therefore he is saying that he feels fortunate.
