This world's got heather and flowers and bullfrogs
And squirrels that fly from tree to tree
There's mouses and moths and little birds chirpin'
As the praying mantis sways evilly
There are venomous ants and there're poisonous plants
Even if you just brush up against them casually
The year's got its seasons; all your friends have their reasons
Even if they come up to them innocently
Sometimes you just wanna comfort another
Give 'em solace and keep 'em company
But it all gets ruined when they just discover
All of your bad qualities
But my heart's as buoyant as a fish bladder
And I don't need any company
I'm lazy as a sloth and I'm mad as a hatter
And I wouldn't change if I could to make you happy
Yeah there's life on earth like there's death in birth
Like there's Mother and Father in matrimony
There's value in worth and there's sorrow in mirth
And there's me in you like there's you in me
