backwater zoo

baby i would give you all the tea in china

cos you're the sweetest little honey bee that i've ever seen

and when the things go wrong

i'll get you smiling by singing my song

surely we're the kookiest two in a backwater zoo

something ain't right

i see that your sunshine's fading

i've been dancing all day and you never even raised an eye

you're all uptight but with a little more investigating

i'll find my way on through and you can tickle me too all night

so don't give up

don't give in

wipe the slate clean and begin again

send me a thumbs up and i'll send you a smiley face

don't wear your blues like a noose

you're wear yourself out all your worrying

honey we got nothing to lose

but if you're begging the question then i'll tell you the truth

baby i would give you all the tea in china

cos you're the sweetest little honey bee that i've ever seen

and when the things go wrong

i'll get you smiling by singing my song

surely we're the kookiest two in a backwater zoo

late last night i saw a hole in the sky above me

and it was sucking all my dreams up into the great beyond

i held on tight cos i knew my honey bee she loved me

i said good bye bye to my blues and i turned it around

oh yes

baby i would give you all the tea in china

cos you're the sweetest little honey bee that i've ever seen

and when the things go wrong

i'll get you smiling by singing my song

surely we're the kookiest two in a backwater zoo

so don't give up

don't give in

wipe the slate clean and begin again

send me kiss kiss on the lips

and i'll send you kool kats and a rocket ship

baby i would give you all the tea in china

cos you're the sweetest little honey bee that i've ever seen

and when the things go wrong

i'll get you smiling by singing my song

surely we're the kookiest two in a backwater zoo

surely we're the kookiest two in a backwater zoo

in a backwater zoo

in a backwater zoo
