Oh, all the trees are calling after you And all the venom snipers after you Are all the mountains bolder after you If I could be any one of the things in this world that bite Instead of an indentured ocelot on a leash, I'd rather be a kite And be tied to the end of your string, and flying in the air, baby, at night 'Cause you know what they say about honey bears When you shave off all their baby hair You have a hairy minded pink bare bear And all the bells are rolling out for you And stones are all erupting out for you And all the cheap bloodsuckers are flying after you Yesterday Daisy May and Biff were groovin' on the street And just like in a movie her hands became her feet Her belly button was her mouth, which meant she tasted what she'd speak, oooh But the funny thing is what happened to her nose, oooh It grew until it reached all of her toes, oooh Now when people say her feet smell they mean her nose And curtains laced with diamonds dear for you And all the Roman noblemen for you And kingdom's Christian soldiers dear for you And melting ice cap mountains tops for you Oh-oh, and knights in flaming silver robes for you And bats that with a kiss turn prince for you Swoop-swoop, oh baby, rock, rock Swoop-swoop, rock, rock Swoop-swoop, rock, rock
