lyrics

Run, Babble, find my suitcase, don't be a hassle, while I'm waxing.
Be fun, Mammal, why are you home still?
Gorda fell through the hill, and Tuna's laughing.
Abel and Fiona were dancing under snow
When the cotton in the road confused their moves.

My father says he's in love, but he makes stories up so he can eat in peace.
Senor, your son is absurd wearing mustard.
I believe I ruined the feast.
No one sang like Fiona—
When the weather stopped the dance,
Fiona cupped her hands and began to woo.

A message to the rest of her friends let them know she wants to be a seal.
Nomenclature understands the picture that they're after.

The camera produced butterflies from both sides.
We don't know her face living by the flashlight.
"Look commanding while using your shepard-eyes.
Oh, Rula, where did they put my dandelions?"
"On the counter, behind the toaster."
"You'll understand me more as we get older."

This camera has butterflies
On both sides.
This camera has butterflies
On both sides.
Butterflies,
On both sides.

[ONCE AGAIN]
