lyrics

[Chorus]

Hey baby! You're probably just a figment
of my imagination but Hey baby!
I like the way you sway, baby.
you make me want to make babies, and raise babies
Into grown men, and grown women,
you got me in my own head swimmin'
so let's go dippin'
Swim pretty, baby.

[Verse 1]

I gotta crush, and mickle mabbey gotta havey
cutie works at Tutti Frutti®, chocolate ripple triple candy
double fudge,
I order real important tip a quarter told her that I had to court her
her expression didn't budge, cuz she's so cute she's so tough
like she keeps a jump loaded in the trunk,
her last boyfriend's probably lying bloated in the dump,
But these toppings ain't the only things thats nuts, "Let's get lunch!"

She said: What
I said: Lunch
She said Fine
I said: What
She said: Saturday at 1, take your sunday and shut up

I said: [indiscernable] at a restaurant?
She told me the place and I floated away, with a dumb grin on my face
and I thought:

[Chorus]

Hey Baby! You're probably just a figment
of my imagination but Hey Baby!
I like the way you sway, baby
you make me want to make babies, and raise babies
Into grown men, and grown women,
you got me in my own head swimmin'
so let's go dippin'
Swim pretty, baby

[Verse 2]

A little bit of music, nice, a little bit seculed yikes
we're in the back, in a booth on Blues on Whyte* there's no food in sight but I guess she likes to drink lunch.
I didn't think was strange, I don't think much.
Black hair, black eyes, pink blush,
black pants, back that thing up
black sweater, brastraps SHUT UP

She smells like the coffee aisle, I smell like my laundry pile
She kisses my cheek, I shift in my seat, she's grinning at me like a crocodile.
I swallow and fall from the bench, and all of my friends are gettin pocket dialed.
She kisses my neck. Hey baby maybe we can get a drink and talk awhile?

She stops and smiles, orders me an oscar wilde,
pours it on the floor and says "Okay now lets go talk at my house"
I said: You got a lot of style and that's cool.
She said: I've gotta shrine of you in my room.

I said: What
She said: What
I said: SHRINE
she said: What
I said: Please
I said: Don't
I said: Kill
I said: Me

I'm like wake up, but I can't speak, her make up drips off
she's just a grey faceless shade and I'm right there in a nightmare screaming HEY BABY!

[Mushroom Trip/Outro]
