"Sleeve" lyrics

"Sleeve"

Started out with one then he got two
Then he got three, four, five, six
Seven eight nine ten eleven twelve tattoos
Then he went back, and he surpassed twenty-three

Now he got a sleeve
Now he got a sleeve
Now he got a sleeve

Elephants, mushrooms, racing flames, arrows
And a crucifix
Dragons, muscle car, and a heart
That says, mom

Got herself one, then she got two
Then she got three, four, five, six
Seven eight nine tattoos
Then she went again got another ten
Going back every weekend

Now she got a sleeve
Now she got a sleeve
Now she got a sleeve

Butterflies, roses, UFOs, tigers
And a motorcycle
Angels, peace sign, and a heart
That says, mom

Octopus, wizards, ace of spades, yin yang
And Tweety Bird
Pot leaf, astronaut, mermaid, and skulls
Dinosaurs, eagles, volcanoes
And scorpions
Dolphins, shooting stars, and a heart
That says, mom
