(Intro)
We live on an island
Island by the sea
No-no-no-no-no-no-no-no
Nobody knows
Know an island like me
Oh no
I grew up in Banana
I-mean-I grew up in Montana, yeah, so yeahhh
(oh yeah)
Surrounded by some water (an ISland)
(scatting)
(vocal ba** sounds)
(scatting)
Watch out for Cobra commander (yeah yeah)
Watch out for Cobra commander
Watch out for Cobra commander
(scatting)
Eat your-eat your-eat your vegetables
(scatting)
I'm gonna-I'm gonna cut up little pieces of fruit, yes
To eat every day, to make you feel so good inside your tummay
Tummay
Tell me
Tell me RIGHT NOW
I, I been in love so many times before
It's hard to count
And when I fall in love again
I won't know if it's really love
'Cus I can't remember what it was the first time that I fell in love
'Cus it's a construct of a memory
It's a construct of a memory
But it's a feeling nonetheless and I've got res-pect that in the process
And everyone knows, everyone feels INside (vocalizations)
And that's life
I grew up on a thing that
Looked like some other thing that
Somebody could rec-og-nize
As is a thing that exists in time
Sometimes when I think of
All the things that I need so bad
Like a blueberry pie in the middle of the night
But they're very difficult, VEry hard to find
But this Neeew York
And you're supposed to (noise) every thing you wannnnt-at any given time
If you look hard enough
That's not necessarily true-yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo
And when I want to take a taxi
When I want to take a taxi
Sometimes I put hands in the air and say like I do really care
'Cus it's cold outside
The taxi drives on by and i say "you're a racist"
But then I under-then I understand that the taxi driver's black and that don't make no sense
I don't know what the f** this island has become
Come
Come, yes
Let me tell you
It's 2am
2:30am-ish
I wanna take a taxi to the Brooklyn
The land of the Brook, yeah
Taxi driver stops
He rolls down the window partially
But I know his trick and I get in any way
And I say
(vocalizations)
I'm gonna make your night
I wanna take a ride with you to the land of Brook
Brooklyn, yeah yeah
Taxi driver says (guttural noises)
And then I'm like, what the f**'s your problem
IIt's a fare, and a fare is a fare, and you can't get-you can't get-
-you can't get upset about someone giving you business for the thing that you're supposed to be doing-
What the f** is your problem, problem, problem, yeah
I don't understand it
I'll never understand iiiiit
Well sometimes you can put yourself in-that-position-but-still-doesn't-make-no-sense
(vocalizations) yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Whoa yeaaah
I wanna see the bridges
Pretty brooklyn-williamsburg-manhattan bridges
Don't want to take those tunnels they're so nasty in the dark
Ohhh-and-I-know-you-feel-the-same even if you live above 14th
You've got to admit
It's cuter down below
Ohhhh below
Ohhhh below
