Oh, my girl sitting in the sky Go buy candy and a currant bun I like to see you run Lay back Don't talk to me Please, just f*ck with me Please, you know I'm feeling frail It's true, sun shining very bright It's you, I'm gonna love tonight Ice cream tastes good in the afternoon Ice cream tastes good if you eat it soon Don't touch me child Please, know you drive me wild Please you know, I'm feeling frail Don't try another cat Don't go where other you must know why Very, very, very frail Oh, my girl sitting in the sun Go buy candy and a currant bun I like to see you run Like that
