I had some creams
in the grounds in my coffee, grounds in my coffee
I had some dreams
they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee
I had some dreams now they're crowns in my coffee
Crowns in my coffee
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee
I had some dreams that there were clowns in my coffee
Clowns in my coffee.

So you flew your ribbon up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun
Well I hear you went up to Saratoga, and your horse naturally won,
So you flew your lear jet up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun
I like my lyrics better. They go together.
Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won
Then you threw your squirrel up the roller coaster
To see the total eclipse of the sun.
Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun.
This is such a misheard song .... I doubt ANYONE really knows what sweet Carly actually sang!
Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your house naturally won
Then you threw your widget at a nervous Russian
To see the total eclipse of the sun.
Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun.
Well I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your heart naturally won.
Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your horse naturally won.
Well I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your whores actually won
Well I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your horse natrally won
Well I hear you went up to share a toga
With your horse and Ashley Judd.
Well I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your horse naturally won.
Well you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not you're with some underworld spy
Or the wife of a clothespin, wife of a clothespin.
Well you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not you're with some underworld spy
Or the wife of a close friend, wife of a close friend.
Well, I hear you went up to Sarasota
And your hearts naturally worn.
Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your horse naturally won.
Well, you're where you shook me all the time.
Well, you're where you should be all the time.
When you said that we made such a prickly pear,
A statue of Meryl Streep.
When you said that we made such a pretty pair,
And that you would never leave.

And that you would never leave.
