Have ya broke a wing?' I haven't heard ya in so long And hey there little albatross, swimming in the air 'Aw, hey ya know I can't fly and I Think we really oughta play fair' And hey there mister happy squid, you move so psychedelically You hypnotize with your magic dance all the animals in the sea For sure And oh all of the animals, all the animals And hey there Mr. Morning Sun, what kind of creature are you I can't stare, but I know you're there Goddamn, how I wish I knew And hey there Mrs. Lovely Moon, you're lonely and you're blue It's kind of strange the way you change But then again, we all do too Music and Lyrics written by Devendra Banhart Transcribed by ear, all my own work.
