[Intro]

(One, two, three, four.)

Cardiac kid

Kinda like it, kinda like it

Cardiac kid, don't go

Chronological on all your friends

First you'll cause accidents

Raise the roof, make us tense

Follow through to the ends

And we'll rip the heart out from the defense


[Verse 1]

The lion reaps his own reward

Serengeti nightmare for the echo tour

You're a nice guy and I hate you for that

Thanks to people like you I'm no longer that


[Verse 2]

Mandrake versus the snake

I got it on the camera for posterity

But my stolen wild orchids got cut

See those Sherpas chirpin' from the autobus

It's got the right to sit on that face

Well, it was put here for me because I am great

I've got the right to sit on that face

Everybody look at me and my wonderful place


[Outro]

Patty, Patty, Patty, you're so catty

And it's not fair because I like to doody-doddy-do

Catty, catty, catty, you're so Patty

And it's unfair because I like to doody-doddy-do with you

It's unfair 'cause I like to doody-doddy-doody-da with you

Di-da-di-doody-da with you
