I like you cause you look like a giraffe
Stretching out its neck to get to fruit in a tall tree

You're always occupied with girly things
Your room is filled with girly posters of teen idols and rollercoasters
And funny things like that
You've got a red and purple striped stuffed animal cat
That takes up half the bed

I like to pretend you're made out of a drawbridge operator's favorite radio program
"Argh, you're listening to 81.3, Sound of the Sea"

While I'm training troops in parachutes how to act frou-frou
So when their sergeants return from butterscotching Mr. Lynn
They can do the Charleston while I paint the face
Of Private Fontaine on his enemy's face and
Do the same to him
Until the ballroom's filled with soldiers wondering if they like themselves
And all are forced to forgive and forget
