Lyrics

Thoughts on a Bird

There was a bird,
A really cute bird.
A really, really, really, really, really cute bird.

Your Own Medicine

A taste of your own medicine.
A taste of your own medicine.
You deserve a taste of your own medicine.

Summertime Is Here

La, la, la, la, la.
Flip flops and ice cream,
Waterfalls and candy canes,
Sugar drinks and mayonnaise,
Summertime is here.
