Lyrics
I got some birds up on my roof and they stand as living proof
That she?s my girlfriend
I caught a funky dragonfly looking straight into my eye
Yeah that?s right
I got some big name help this time and we worked out all the rhymes
Yeah she?s my girlfriend
And there?s a monkey in my tree, throwing apples down at me
Most every night
I gotta tell that when you?ve been lonely so long
It really makes you appreciate when love comes along
Though in these woods there?s only trash and old cans
Something about them makes me feel like a man
They?ll be our kingdom just you wait and see
Call her the skoochie mama kid you won?t know half of what I did
Now she?s my girlfriend
She plays a second hand flute in a cyber institute
That?s ok
She loves that herbal tea and she sings me songs for free
Yeah she?s my girlfriend
She dropped a rope into my hole as I was selling off my soul
She saved the day
I gotta tell you that when you?ve been lonely so long
It really makes you appreciate when love comes along
Take the picnic basket down to the creek
Set by the taidy frog and maybe he?ll speak
When he meets her, I love to hear what he thinks
