lifeblood: songs: lyrics: favorite flavor

there's people everywhere
playing banjo
and the mandolin
and guitar
what am i gonna do
when she won't sing with me
she's got a lollipop
it's wild cherry
her favorite flavor
her favorite flavor
her favorite flavor

she's learning ukulele
just like all the kids
she wants to play it her own way
just like i did
what am i gonna do
when my neighbors won't
let their kid play with mine
we're wild cherry
our favorite flavor
our favorite flavor
our favorite flavor

with a billion songs
inside her
you'd be a fool
to try to guide her
sing along
but she'll remind you
that fragile shell
you're too clumsy to hold it
her little wings
life will unfold them
she can fly why
would you hold her back

the sun is coming out
the sky is clearing
the animals run and jump
and people cheer
what am i gonna do
it's independence day
now she's gonna play the drums
i see my neighbors and i say

hey
have a lollipop
hey
have a sparkler
hey
oh let your light shine
your favorite flavor
my favorite flavor
our favorite flavor
my favorite flavor
our favorite flavor
