World’s Best Friend lyrics

[AMANDINE]

We begin with geometry. Zeno's paradox: In ancient Greece, the philosopher Zeno posited that no two objects could ever touch

[YOUNG AMÉLIE]

Some girls have classrooms where lessons are taught

But a kitchen and fish bowl are all that we've got

If you'll be my first mate then I'll be your chum

And I'll buy you a castle and brand new aquarium!

World's best friends!

You and I

Now you say it!

[FLUFFY]

World's best friends!

You and I

[YOUNG AMÉLIE]

Now together!

[YOUNG AMÉLIE & FLUFFY]

World's best friends!

[AMANDINE, spoken]

Amélie! Pay attention! Zeno's paradox: To reach a point one must always reach a halfway point and from there the next halfway point. There will always be another half way point

[FLUFFY]

Listen to your crazy Mom!

Droning on

Look at me now I'm her: blah blah blah blah blah!

This is no Sorbonne, where you should be

There's that twitch every time she blinks

Or she thinks as her lesson sinks in like a shipwreck for you and me!

[AMANDINE, spoken]

Two objects can never meet

[FLUFFY & YOUNG AMÉLIE]

Listen to your crazy Mom!

Droning on

Blah blah blah blah!

Over and over

I'm glad there's someone else who can see

[FLUFFY]

Your parents are crazy

[FLUFFY & YOUNG AMÉLIE]

But you can count on me!

[AMANDINE, spoken]

Amélie, did you hear me?

Give me that bowl!

[AMÉLIE, spoken]

Fluffy!

[AMANDINE, spoken]

Give me the bowl. Give me the bowl

[FLUFFY]

Nooooo

[RAPHAEL, spoken]

The fish has to go!

[AMÉLIE]

You never got your plastic castle

But Fluffy you've been granted a parole

You're not being sold on the river

You're getting the world's biggest bowl

And any time that you get lonely

Just take a little look up from below

When you see stones skip the surface

That's me saying hello

[FLUFFY]

Bye

Bye

Bye

Goodbye

[FLUFFY & YOUNG AMÉLIE]

Goodbye
