The bird and the worm
If you're the birdWhenever we pretend it's summerThen I'm the wormI know the part is such a bummerBut fair is fairIf my segments get separatedI'll scream and you'll be there
Close your eyes (close my eyes)Slide the cotton off of your shoulderAnd feel the shine (feel the shine)On the hook, so toss me overAnd cast the line (we'll all try)I'll throw a party and greetMy undersea friends (it depends)As they arrive (if they arrive)
You and I left our troubles far behind (troubles far behind)But I still haveJust one more question on my mindFor all my pals who liveIn the oceans and the seasWith friends like theseWell who needs enemies?
If I'm your boyLet's take a shortcut we rememberAnd we'll enjoyPicking apples in late SeptemberLike we've done for yearsAnd we'll take a long walkThrough the cornfieldAnd I'll kiss you between the ears
If you're my girlSwirl me around your room with feelingAnd as we twirlThe glow in the dark stars on your ceilingWill shine for us as love sweepsOver the room 'cause we tend toMake each other blush (you make me blush)
You and I left our troubles far behind (troubles far behind)But I still haveJust one more question on my mindFor all my pals who liveIn the oceans and the seasWith fronds like theseWell who needs anemones?
You're the birdI'm the worm, and it's plain to seeThat we were meant to be
We were meant to beWe were meant to beIf you're the birdIf you're the bird then I'm the wormWe were meant to be
