Aching to pupate
Aching to pup-p-p-pate
[repeats 4x]
Pu-pupate, pu pate,
Pu-pate, pu-pupate, pu pa-ate...
I should peddle butterflies
There´s a shortage in the city,
I´ll stand on the street corner
All myserious and giddy,
When the passers by pass by
I will open up my trenchcoat,
They will see the butterflies
Dangling like fake rolexes...
Every morning I wake up
With a purpose and a smirk
I´ll put on my fake moustache
I´ll drink heineken eat cornflakes...
Then I´ll call my mum and dad
Tell them that I´m doing fine,
Or I´ll write a tipsy letter
To a real good friend of mine,
Or I´ll jump upon the bed
Waltzing madly with the broomstick
But before I leave the house
I will paint my lips with lipstick...
But peddling is a dirty sport
There´s competition in the city,
Everyone is on a street corner
All mysterious and giddy.
Some are selling bags and shoes,
Some are selling books and gold,
I´ve been standing here for days
Not one butterfly´s been sold...
And how I´m
Aching to pupate
Aching to pup-p-p-pate
[repeats 4x]
Pu-pu-pate, pupate,
Pupate, pu-pu-pate, pu pa-ate.
Aching to pup-p-p-pate
[repeats 4x]
Pu-pupate, pu pate,
Pu-pate, pu-pupate, pu pa-ate...
I should peddle butterflies
There´s a shortage in the city,
I´ll stand on the street corner
All myserious and giddy,
When the passers by pass by
I will open up my trenchcoat,
They will see the butterflies
Dangling like fake rolexes...
Every morning I wake up
With a purpose and a smirk
I´ll put on my fake moustache
I´ll drink heineken eat cornflakes...
Then I´ll call my mum and dad
Tell them that I´m doing fine,
Or I´ll write a tipsy letter
To a real good friend of mine,
Or I´ll jump upon the bed
Waltzing madly with the broomstick
But before I leave the house
I will paint my lips with lipstick...
But peddling is a dirty sport
There´s competition in the city,
Everyone is on a street corner
All mysterious and giddy.
Some are selling bags and shoes,
Some are selling books and gold,
I´ve been standing here for days
Not one butterfly´s been sold...
And how I´m
Aching to pupate
Aching to pup-p-p-pate

Pu-pu-pate, pupate,
Pupate, pu-pu-pate, pu pa-ate.
