The Bird and the Worm

If you're the bird

Whenever we pretend it's summer

Then I'm the worm

I know the part, it's such a bummer

But fair is fair

If my segments get separated

I'll scream

And you'll be there

Close your eyes

(Close my eyes)

Slide the cotton off of your shoulder

And feel the shine

(Feel the shine)

I'm hooked so toss me over

And cast a line

(Well, I'll try)

I'll throw a party and greet my undersea friends

(It depends)

As they arrive

(If they arrive)

You and I left our troubles far behind

(Troubles far behind)

But I still have just one more question on my mind

For all my pals who live in the oceans and the seas

With friends like these, well,

Who needs enemies?

If I'm your boy

Let's take a shortcut we remember

And we'll enjoy

Picking apples in late September like

We've done for years

Then we'll take a long walk

Through the cornfield

And I'll kiss you

Between the ears

If you're my girl

Swirl me around your room with feeling

And as we twirl

The glow in the dark stars on your ceiling

Will shine for us

As love sweeps over the room

'Cause we tend to make

Each other blush

(you make me blush)

You and I left our troubles far behind

(Troubles far behind)

But I still have just one more question on my mind

For all my pals who live in the oceans and the seas

With fronds like these, well,

Who needs anemones?

You're the bird, I'm the worm

And it's plain to see

That we were meant to be

We were meant to be

We were meant to be

(If you're the bird,

If you're the bird,

Then I'm the worm)

We were meant to be
