A-follow the rainbows you can have for your own.
About all the rainbows you can have for your own.
About all the raincoats you can have for your own
About all the rainbows you can have for your own
Any drink in the book and I can make it
Any trick in the book now, baby, all that I can find
Could have ripped off D.C. but I've changed my ways.
Could have tripped out easy but I've changed my ways
Could have tripped out to see ya baby
Could have tripped out easy but I've changed my ways
Due to legal wranglings, this song wasn't even released for a year after it was recorded.
I could make like a turtle
and die for your cousin to see
I could make like a turtle
and dive for your pearls in the sea
I could make like a turtle and dive for the popular scene.
I could make like a turtle and dive for your pearls in the sea
I could make like a turtle
And therefore, you're causin' a scene.
I could make like a turtle
And dive for your pearls in the sea.
I could make like a turtle
And die for your pearl's embassy.
I could make like a turtle
And dive for your pearls in the sea.
I'll battle the rainbows so you can have for your own.
About all the rainbows you can have for your own.
Super mellow green lantern ain't got nothin' on me
Superman or Green Lantern ain't got nothin' on me
Superman in Greenland turn Inca nothin' on me.
Superman or Green Lantern ain't got nothin' on me.
Superman or Atlanta ain't got nothin' on me.
Superman or Green Lantern ain't got nothin' on me.
Superman or Greenland, her name's got another no mean.
Superman or Green Lantern ain't got nothin' on me.
Superman or Lance Armstrong ain't got nothing on me.
Superman or Green Lantern ain't got nothing on me.
The cyclist of this name wasn't born yet when this song was made.
Through the meadow green land Turningcott, you never know me.
Superman or Green Lantern ain't got nothin' on me.
Editor's note: What the heck is "Turningcott"?
Through the meadow green land turning, gawd you never know me.
Superman or Green Lantern ain't got nothin' on me
We screwed on the beach at sunset.
We stood on the beach at sunset.
