Quotes[]

Andy: “Sounds like the entire Beatles ‘White Album’ put into a blender. The lyrics make no sense at all. But they're probably about my penis (modest of size, but beautifully formed).”

Lyrics[]

In my heart, in my heart


You want some lovely

I got some lovely

In my head (in my head)

Where the lions

Wear the right tie,

Where the gems roar

There be lovely


You want some lovely

I got some lovely

In my bed (in my bed)

Where the ocean

Wears the shore down

Where's the on switch?

There be lovely

(Laying, waiting naked for you)


We can play, every day

we can play at being lovers

We can play, every day

We can play on my brown guitar

We can play, every day

we can play at being lovers

We can play, every day

We can play on my brown guitar


You want some lovely

I got some lovely

In my yard (in my yard)

There be inchworm

There we football

Take my yardstick

Stir some lovely

(Laying, waiting naked for you)


You want some lovely

I got some lovely

In my field

There be green grass

There be pink skies

There be blue birds

Come and nest there

You want some

I got some

You want some

I got some

You want some

In my field

Lovely

Lovely

Lovely


We can play, every day

we can play at being lovers

We can play, every day

We can play on my brown guitar

We can play, every day

we can play at being lovers

We can play, every day

We can play on my brown guitar


You want some lovely

I got some lovely

In my heart, in my heart

For you
