we live on an island - reggie watts lyrics

(intro)

we live on an island
island by the sea
no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no
n0body 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 b-ss 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-ck 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-ck’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-ck 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
