DFollowing in footsteps Eovergrown by moss
And he Atells me that C#mwomen grow on trees
And Dif you catch them right they will Eland upon their kne-ee-Aes
Where they Aopen all their wallets
And they Aclose all their minds
And they Alove to buy you all a Edrink
And as Awe ask all the questions
And Ayou take all your clothes off
Go Aback to the kitchen Esink
