lyrics
Stay in bed
Rest your head
Please bring home some soup
(of course I will dumpling)
I’ll call your job
Say I was bitten by a dog
There’s saliva coming out my mouth
Oh dear god, what’s happened to my spouse?!
No
I don’t wanna take the train, boy
I don’t know
Put the stopper on the drain, boy
If she’ll live
Pull up the blanket to my cheeks then
I don’t know
Let’s pretend that it’s the week end
So let’s take off
These silly cloths
Crack open the champagne
The city life has ended
It’s just apartment life today
But oh, say have you heard me
No you haven’t heard me say:
Pa pa parara pa para
Pa pa parara pa para
Bust and bustle
This town’s a puzzle
Please untie my brain
The taxis say hi
As we watch from the sky
Send them off
To their steady jobs
Tell my boss
I’m not ready, cough
No
I don’t wanna take the train, boy
I don’t know
Put the stopper on the drain, boy
If she’ll live
Pull up the blanket to my cheeks then
I don’t know
Let’s pretend that it’s the week end
The city life has ended
It’s just apartment life today
But oh, say have you heard me
No you haven’t heard me sing
Rest your head
Please bring home some soup
(of course I will dumpling)
I’ll call your job
Say I was bitten by a dog
There’s saliva coming out my mouth
Oh dear god, what’s happened to my spouse?!
No
I don’t wanna take the train, boy
I don’t know
Put the stopper on the drain, boy
If she’ll live
Pull up the blanket to my cheeks then
I don’t know
Let’s pretend that it’s the week end
So let’s take off
These silly cloths
Crack open the champagne
The city life has ended
It’s just apartment life today
But oh, say have you heard me
No you haven’t heard me say:
Pa pa parara pa para
Pa pa parara pa para

A Flying Dodo Society New York, New York
"A Flying Dodo Society is a husband & wife music/animation project. They fabricate absurd and catchy songs about how the world will end, how to fish for humans, and what to wear when your armadillo is in despair.
