lyrics

4/28/22
I'm sure we've all wondered
why we're what we are
why some look just fine
and then others F.U.B.A.R.
When the data falls short
and the logic's not found
it could be the creatures
to whom we are bound.

And so as we wonder
why we're what we are,
well, maybe the answer
is not all that far
-not science, nor chaos
nor astrology.
It could be no more
than the creatures we see. πŸ‘€

For example...

She fights like a tiger
so quick and so sleek
and roars her proud passion
-too fierce for the meek.
But when she's contented
she lounges all week
and she purrs if she likes you
with her eyes of mystique.

While he is as prickly
as a big porcupine
He will not break bread
or offer you wine.
He blows on his bullhorn
that nothing is fine
and he waddles real slowly
like a prick by design.

Some cluck like crazed chickens
and gossip's their trade.
Their feathers are ruffled
no matter what's laid.
Some are chameleons
who play any line
and they argue for nothing
with no faith to define.

Some are like canines
who just love to play
They'll be your best friend
if you pet them all day.
Some are like felines
who might need much less
but just what they're thinking...
is anyone's guess.

(Chorus)
As I am a fish of the 7 Great Seas,
you are a squirrel of the finest green trees.
I swim with the currents or float by with ease.
You jump and you scramble or glide with the breeze.
You juggle those acorns, oh my, what a tease!
Hey, You, way up there! Come swim with me please.🐠

The rebels are eagles
who aim for the sky.
They spread their wings out
without telling us why.
The nobles are turtles
who take their sweet time.
Their shells are rock-hardened
but their faces sublime. 🐒

My man is a workhorse
who pulls his own weight.
He bucks off the trifles
and keeps his face straight.
And just like an ant
she can dig, run and climb
You'll see her move one way...
then turn on a dime!

(Chorus)
As I am a fish of the 7 Great Seas,
you are a squirrel of the finest green trees.
I swim with the currents or float by with ease.
You jump and you scramble or glide with the breeze.
You juggle those acorns, oh my, what a tease!
Hey, You, way up there! Come swim with me please.🐠

...or maybe later tonight when we're catching some Zs!
