The coolest place to record a recording
Is Burnaby BC
It's not too crowded in the studio
Just Darcy, Jordy and me
The bus ride down from Whitehorse
Was as long as a mayfly's life
And an old man with a stutter
Told me the best joke of all time
He said "What is yellow and red and orange
And looks good as a hippie's attire
And I said I give up and he gave me a wink
And said 'f-f-f-f-fire'
And I laughed, and then I sang
This charmed life is charming
Beyond measure
The work feels a lot like pleasure
And there's a season for leisure and there's a season for leisure
In this charmed life I love all of the things
That people make
I love the tricks and games and the millions of names
The wrong answers and the right mistakes
And as the cyclists cycle by
With their pant legs tucked in tight
I wonder what kind of white wine
They'll be drinking at home tonight
The spring will bring the flowers
To the feet of the city trees
And the honey bees will buzz subtly
Like the 'b' in subtlety
And the rabbis and the ministers
Will play rock paper scissors in the park
To decide once and for all whether unicorns
Were left behind by Noah's Ark
And the bears in the woods and the cougars in the bars and the leeches and the sharks in the cars
Will say
This charmed life is charming
Beyond measure
The work feels a lot like pleasure
And there's a season for leisure and there's a season for leisure
In this charmed life I love all of the things
That people make
I love their tricks and their games and their millions of names
The wrong answers and the right mistakes
