lyrics

Four score, and seven year ago
Back when things really mattered – long before the war
Walked a cow to school – little brother was the Earthquake Baby

Seven seas, seven wonders – no waiting line
Seven brides for seven brothers – yeah, that’s what we ordered
Now you wanna know – what is this really, what is this really
Now you wanna know, really wanna know
Now you wanna know, really gotta know
Asking everyone – what is this really

Mrs. Krimble’s Fairy Cakes – Aquafina water
Little fuzzy furry head – shaped just like an otter
Performing for a squirrel on a fence – with your bear trap bark box

If you got a problem, park yourself right here
And give me one twenty – yeah, for every hour
Cause you know I wanna hear, wanna hear all about it
Wanna hear all about it, really wanna hear
Now I wanna hear, really gotta hear
Cause I think you know, I wanna hear all about it

Finish what you start – yeah, never leave it hanging
Put a dime in the cup
Always tip your caddy

(Ladybird, ladybird fly away home…)
Never leave for tomorrow, what you can lose today

Tiny planets formed – just as we were warned
Powder monkey ran away – right back to the farm
The walls were covered in newspaper, cause we didn’t wanna paint ‘em
Cover up the old color – cover up any sign of wear or tear
Add an extra layer, maybe two
Hey that’s what we’re here for

Ladybird, ladybird fly away home
Ladybird, ladybird fly away home
Fly away home, cause you know you kinda wonder
You know you kinda wonder
