"Animal Song" lyrics
Frabjoy & Runcible Spoon Lyrics
"Animal Song"
The day's beginning with a watery sun
(Mmm...)
The dew hangs like silver from a web newly spun
By a spider whose body is as gold as the sun
The doctor is smiling
(Mmm...)
Your girl's had a son
A beaver is building a home in the stream
He'll down the Pacific
He dreamt in a dream
Two dragonflies watch him
From rushes and reeds
The beaver will build
(Mmm...)
But never succeed
The parrot is learning the words of a song
(Mmm...)
The music is sweet but the grammar's all wrong
He'll sing to a porpoise who lives in a tree
And charm all the fish
(Mmm...)
In a faraway sea
The lion is watching above on a hill
Always he has done, always he will
Below in the grass, about an inch high
An elderly cricket is saying goodbye
To the parrot, the spider
(Mmm...)
And the first dragonfly

Badfinger - "I Can Love You" I can love you without askin' why
Seeing all that's in your eyes
Knowing there's no alibi

Feel you and I'm holding on
Knowing that I'm not alone...

Al Stewart - "Pretty Golden Hair" In England's pleasant green
Like a picture postcard scene
To childhood spread with fond maternal care
From the day that he was born
Proud relations came to fawn
And compliment his pretty golden hair...
