The bird and the worm lyrics

If you're the bird

Whenever we pretend it's summer

Then I'm the worm

I know the part is such a bummer

But fair is fair

If my segments get separated

I'll scream and you'll be there

Close your eyes (close my eyes)

Slide the cotton off of your shoulder

And feel the shine (feel the shine)

On the hook, so toss me over

And cast the line (we'll all try)

I'll throw a party and greet

My undersea friends (it depends)

As they arrive (if they arrive)

You and I left our troubles far behind (troubles far behind)

But I still have

Just one more question on my mind

For all my pals who live

In the oceans and the seas

With friends like these

Well who needs enemies?

If I'm your boy

Let's take a shortcut we remember

And we'll enjoy

Picking apples in late September

Like we've done for years

And we'll take a long walk

Through the cornfield

And I'll kiss you between the ears

If you're my girl

Swirl me around your room with feeling

And as we twirl

The glow in the dark stars on your ceiling

Will shine for us as love sweeps

Over the room 'cause we tend to

Make each other blush (you make me blush)

You and I left our troubles far behind (troubles far behind)

But I still have

Just one more question on my mind

For all my pals who live

In the oceans and the seas

With fronds like these

Well who needs anemones?

You're the bird

I'm the worm, and it's plain to see

That we were meant to be

We were meant to be

We were meant to be

If you're the bird

If you're the bird then I'm the worm

We were meant to be
