Can You Keep Up

(album: Upright, Love - 2012)

Meet me at the corner shop
Bring the flip, I'll bring the flop
Hurry now and don't delay it
What's your name so I can say it?
We'll head up to the fair
Win all of the prizes there
Ferris wheel up to the moon
And buy a helium balloon
Well, let's head into the night
Go and soak up all the lights
Way up in a high rise
See the world through my eyes

Hey, so let's get out of here
Hey, you wanna grab a beer
Somewhere in the city?
Hey, you sure are pretty

I'm not a wonder
Slip and I blunder
Can you keep up?
Awfully clumsy, covered in crumbs and
Can you keep up?
Just as sweet as arsenic
Sugary to the point of sick
So can
Can you

Hand me that napkin?
I spilled on my lap again
Be quick on the uptake
You might get a cupcake
Run 'till we're too sore to walk
And chase me down the boardwalk
And cartwheel up the alley
Send me mail from Cali
Leave me on a jet plane
Miss me 'till you're back again
Bring me something tiny
And preferably shiny

Hey, so let's get out of here
Sleep until the skies are clear
Wake me up with toffees
And I'll make you coffee

I'm not a wonder
Slip and I blunder
Can you keep up?
Awfully clumsy, covered in crumbs and
Can you keep up?
Just as sweet as arsenic
Sugary to the point of sick
So can
Can you keep

Up, up, up on the roof
Down, down the stairwell
Left, right, left, right-o
Hello and farewell
Out, out, out of my mind
In the car and parking
Yeah, yeah, we can play tag
Puppy, quit your barking
Mmm

Train it down to Coney
Belmont, bet on ponies
Bakery for donuts
Tickle you and go nuts

Hey, so let's get out of here
Hey, so don't you worry, dear
We'll roll away like bikes do
Plus my mama likes you

I'm not a wonder
Slip and I blunder
Can you keep up?
Awfully clumsy, covered in crumbs and
Can you keep up?
Just as sweet as arsenic
Sugary to the point of sick
So can
Can you

Well, I'm not a wonder
Slip and I blunder
Can you keep up?
Awfully clumsy, covered in crumbs and
Can you
Just as sweet as arsenic
Sugary to the point of sick
So can you keep up?
Up
Up
Keep up?
