Devendra Banhart - Little Yellow Spider lyrics

rate me

Little yellow spider laughing at the snow

Well maybe that spider knows something that I don't know

Cuz I'm goddamn cold

Little white monkey staring at the sand

Maybe that monkey figured out something I couldn't understand

Who knows

Well I came upon a dancing crab and I stopped to watch it shake, I said,

'Dance for me just one more time before ya hibernate,

and ya come out a crab cake'

And hey there little snapping turtle, snapping at a shell

Oh there's mysteries inside I know

But what they are I just can't tell for sure

And hey there little baby crow, you're looking kind of mean

I think I oughta split before ya start letting off your spleen

For sure

And hey there little sexy pig, you mated with a man

And now you've got a little kid

With hooves instead of hands

And oh all of the animals, all of the animals

And hey there little mockingbird, they sing about you in songs

'Oh where ya been? 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.
