[Verse 1: Serengeti] This romance is knitted quilts And very soft strings of yarn Sharing plates of spinach parm And never having to move your arm Charm is charm but yours is more like Overflowing candy drawers Returning from the greatest war I adore our rapport We feel like batteries in toys Otters and their silly ploys A haunted house and scary noise The fashions of a teddy boy To cook with sherry and juices from stems of poison pigeon berry Romantic hugs and Finnish ferries Mountain blue and green canaries [Hook] I'd prefer if you were around I'd prefer if you were around
[Verse 2: Serengeti] We toasted sweet burger buns That time we fell in love in Schtad Fed each other Shish Kabobs I love you like an angry god Alaskan cod and silly quips I wish you'd leave that man you're with We'll get a place like in Peru You'll meet me up like oysters do Turn cold like pigeon flu Undercover secret life Hidden like a switchblade The arm that hides the face of nights And this is all that I can have Romantic New York City cabs And weeks and weeks and you can't talk Cancel plans and lonely walks Plans and lonely walks [Hook x2]
