Waking up in the city
|
What are we gonna do
|
Take a picture to the park
|
Sing songs about the moon
|
I will bring the frisbee
|
I will bring the dog
|
We'll frolic in the pesticided grass beneath the smog
|
Don't gotta worry 'bout bee stings
|
Don't gotta worry 'bout ants
|
Now's the time to take off our shoes
|
And dance that cartoon dance
|
In the afternoon time
|
We will stroll downtown
|
Past messengers on bicycles
|
And men dressed up in gowns
|
If we should get tired, let's just take the bus
|
I hope that it's not crowded so we can sit up front
|
I can't even see them scrape the sky
|
Blurring the fashions whizzing by
|
Sun gets down in the evening
|
Lights start flashing on
|
The city swells with energy
|
The nightlife has begun
|
Kustle and bustle
|
So many sites to see
|
Endless excitement
|
Keeps me up 'till three
|
Don't wanna go to the movies
|
Who wants to sit inside
|
I didn't get on the guest list
|
Don't want to wait in line
|
Let's go eat pierogis at my favorite cafe
|
The waitress are grumpy and
|
Their English ain't so great
|
We'll talk ourselves in circles
|
Til the pancakes are all gone
|
Today's become tomorrow
|
I can see the pink of dawn
|
Oh, I'm getting tired, I'm oh so tired
|
I think it's time to retire
|
Time for bed
|
To rest my sleepy head
|
|
