lyrics

I'm gonna sing a song I'm gonna make a record
I'm gonna buy myself some stuff to feel better
Buy an island in the sun and I will make balloons for you
I have 8 fingers and 2 thumbs but they oppose me
I'm very bad with names but everybody knows me
The spotlight's hot I'm getting off so you won't you stop the world for me
And the rain comes down put outs the fire the grass is getting greener we're still getting high, this towns dry that's why I need an Island

Ba Ba Ba Ba....

I'm off to see my friend he likes to tell me stories, one in particular about a rouge strawberry, when there were far too many Eddie Murphy's in the room - boom boom
Why are so many people vertically challenged lay on their backs while their skin is going orange, pale & pasty is pretty cool you know when you've been tango-ed
And the rain comes down puts out the fire the grass is getting greener & we're still getting high his towns dry that's why I need an Island

I could have told you she was much older so much older than she said. I could have told you she was much older so much older than But I know that you know that we know what's its all about I know that you know that we know what's its all about
And the rain comes down out the fire the grass is getting greener and we're still getting high that's why I need an Island

Ba Ba Ba Ba....
