Lyrics

If you were a mollusc, what mollusc would you be?
If you were a reptile, which reptile would you be?
And if you were a fungus, then what would that make me?
I hope you don't think I'm too strange

I hope you don't think I'm too strange
I hope you don't think I'm too strange
I hope you don't find my behaviour out of line
I hope you don't think I'm too strange

Oh, you! I know I don't know you all that well
But I think you're wonderful!
You're like a wonderful wonderful beautiful beautiful rose
I wrote you a poem, and this is how it goes. Here it is:

If I had a melon, I would give it to you
If I had a mushroom, you'd get that too
I would give you a mango if I had one
Give you a turnip, a grape or a plum
If I had a melon, I would give it to you
And when you had my melon, you would know I love you

I hope you don't think I'm too strange
I hope you don't think I'm too strange
I hope you don't find my behaviour out of line
I hope you don't think I'm too strange

Oh, you! You're like a really really really really nice slug!
And I would really really like to give you a hug
What? Is that a no? Where are you going? Is there some problem?

No, no, no! All I said was that you - are like a really really really really nice slug
I mean a really really really really really really really nice one
But I really like slugs! Don't you? What is your problem?

Oh, no! Now I've ruined everything!
Just when our evening was going so well
Oh, blow! Have you lost all respect for me now?
Oh, bother! Oh, knickers! Oh, hell!

If I were a grape, then what would that make you?
If I were a slug, then what would that make you?
You're staring at me like you don't have a clue
I hope you don't think I'm too strange

I hope you don't think I'm too strange
I hope you don't think I'm too strange
I hope you don't find my behaviour out of line
I hope you don't think I'm too... strange!

Now that is deliciously absurd. It will not have a huge, popular appeal, but to those who, as I do, like clever absurdity, it is a winner. I like it. The music's change in style and tempo follows the lyrics' changes with a great flip-flop! The lyrics are full of surprises and so is the music. It is very funny.

A Humorous love song off the beaten path, down in the shrubs and under a rock. A great place to find a delightful love song of sorts. Love it!

Highly original theme!
Original rhymes.
Intriguing zany humour.
