[Verse 1: Isaac Brock]

We got rooked to believe

We had more tricks up our sleeves

As the king of the mountain when it blows sky high

You just don't get to see

We get tossed, we get turned

While the ants intercept underground with the worms

We sweat out, evaporation occurs

The rain from the clouds really stirs up the dirt


[Pre-Chorus: Isaac Brock]

We are walking and running and we are moving around

Well, we're so very active, we make hummingbirds proud

With our talkin', talkin', chatter, chatter, lips, throat, smile

We make such a noise, the Blue Angels are proud

With our poking and prying, we hauled your secrets all out

There was so much garbage, make a rummage sale proud

We are walking and running and we are moving around

Well, we're so really active, we make hummingbirds proud, with our


[Chorus: Lisa Molinaro & Jacknife Lee]

There are some thoughts that should never

Form to words inside our throats, our throats, oh

There are some thoughts that should never

Form to words inside our throats, our throats, oh

Oh


[Verse 2: Isaac Brock]

Got lost, unconcerned

Handed every single answer, but we never seem to learn

We got rooked to believe we had

Tricks up an empty sleeve


[Pre-Chorus: Isaac Brock]

Feeling rested, we deserved it, laid our backs on the ground

Use our hands to shade our eyes, the ocean rejoins the clouds

With our talkin', talkin', chatter, chatter, lips, throat, smile

We made such a noise, it blew the windows all out

With our poking and prodding, we hauled your secrets all out

There was so much crazy drama, it stood up and took a bow

Here, I'm walking and running and we are moving around

Well, we're so very active, we make hummingbirds proud

With our talkin', talkin', chatter, chatter, lips, throat, smile

We made such a noise that volcanoes are proud

Well, we're walking and running and we are moving around

Well, we're so very active, we make beehives proud


[Chorus: Lisa Molinaro & Jacknife Lee]

There are some thoughts that should never

Form to words inside our throats, our throats, oh

Oh

There are some thoughts that should never

Form to words inside our throats, our throats, oh

Oh
