Mouth Wooed Her

Animal Collective · Sung Tongs [2004]

"I started playing the game...and liked the game."

Good day, assassinate a

Tribe of lice of mine and yours

You're so good and natural

My arms are peeling

Cause you're so

Close to bite

I'm dying my face

So I can take you out

At breakfast time

Yes you're nice

Not nice at school but

All so violent

All so sure

I can figure it out

I think I have

Can we be patient

Time for a nap

And now

If I could just fix the clock

I'd take you out

At breakfast time

I don't want no one no

I don't want none agua

I don't want one of that

I don't want none of no

I don't want no one no

I don't want one of the

I don't want no one no

I don't want no one no

I've been thinking

Better not

Better chance, with better rosary

Words are pudding,

If they won't look out

Can we get dressed,

Now lets all go out

Oh let's

The dye on my face is topping

All the cakes

At breakfast time

Better drink it all

If I can have it

I need mouth water
