Little Lilly

(album: Don't Tell The Band - 2001)

Oh, Lilly likes Beatles songs
The words are off, but they don't feel that wrong
She came in through the bedroom window like a blue girl
Like a blue girl, like a blue girl

No, never has she tried too hard
Lord, her whispered words could mend broken hearts
Her sundress shines through a hurricane
Making all boys squeal like swine before pearls

Hey, Little Lilly
Don't believe everything you see
Hey, Little Lilly
Don't believe everything you see

'Round and 'round and 'round she goes
Like a sweetheart's [?] at the movie show
Lilly leans back in the very last row
The lights go low, and the show goes on

Even schoolgirls like her way
Oh, marry the preacher, make little angels some day
Silent as a child when the first snows fall
Perfect player in anyone's own little world

Hey, Little Lilly
Don't believe everything you see
Hey, Little Lilly
Don't believe everything you see

'Round and 'round and 'round she goes
Like Shirley's curlies at the movie show
Lilly leans back in the very last row
And the light goes low, the show goes on

Lilly likes Beatles songs
The words are off, but they don't feel that wrong
She came in through the bedroom window like a blue girl
Like a blue girl, like a blue girl

Hey, Little Lilly
Don't believe everything you see
Hey, Little Lilly
Don't believe everything you see
Hey, Little Lilly
Don't believe everything you see
Hey, Little Lilly
It's only the end if you believe
It's only the end if you believe
It's only the end if you believe
