Lamp

 

There once was a girl

She’d tell stories

Yeah she’d tell you stories

About forever

 

Oh I loved her

You would too

If you saw her

Like I do

 

Dum—dee

Jump with me in the sea

There the fish in the tree

Will go dum….dee

There’s a lamp in the window

Maybe you’ll lite it for me

 

Have you ever looked at the sky

Wonderin who was in the clouds floating by

Didja know—nothing    really ever can die

It’s all celluloid

Nothing’s really ever destroyed

 

Oh my goodness me

Laughter in my memory

Oh me oh my

Like a cleansing rain after a good cry

 

Dum—dye

Have you ever looked at the sky

There’s a bird of paradise, from Jupiter

floating by

She’s got a story for you

Take off yr hat and your shoes

Gonna take a while

It dum….doo

 

dum…dee

I’ll jump with u, you’ll jump w/me

There’s a unicorn

And a magic bear

And a bee

 

Is this forever probably not

But the magic is what we got

N Miracles never happen unless you try

 

There’s a lamp in the window

Light it before sayin goodbye

 

Dum…dee

There once was a girl

She’d tell stories

Yeah she’d tell you stories

About forever
