My  raw candy  passion  is bitter-sweet,
 Onto  the teeth,
 'Cause  she would rather  fall in chocolate,
 Than fall  in love,  especially  with me.
 I stood  under  the waterfall,
 With a kiwi  pineapple  parasol,
As  Cinderella  dropped the crystal  ball,
 And made a concrete  cavern  of caterpillar  concert  hall.
 I wish that we could sail  our  sad  days  away,  forever,
 In deep  blue  seas  of paper  maché,
 (Let's dance  in the moonlight!)
  A barracuda  chased  our  dog  days  away,  forever,
 Let's sink or  swim,  'til we  fall in love,
 (And dance  in the moonlight!)
  When we  join The Yacht  Club.
I  would rather go  swimming  with great  white sharks,
 Than wade  in romance,
'Cause  I can never find  the courage  to ask  her to dinner,  or even  to dance,
Don't  sweat under  your overcoat,
 'Cause my heart  can't hover  this paddle  boat,
 You'll  hit the bottom  of the highest  note,
 And the chatty  tree  frogs will never  wanna leave  your throat.
 I wish that we could sail  our  sad  days  away,  forever,
 In deep  blue  seas  of paper  maché,
 (Let's dance  in the moonlight!)
  A barracuda  chased  our  dog  days  away,  forever,
 Let's sink or  swim,  'til we  fall in love,
 (And dance  in the moonlight!)
  When we  join The Yacht  Club.
 (Let  go of the world  you know,
 And plug  in the party lights)
Soak  your cares in the solar  flares,
 That light  up these island nights,
 (Orange  eclipse, I can taste  your lips,
 In the citrus  afternoon)
If  you can fly, don't stop  at the sky,
 'Cause there's footprints  on the Moon.
 (It was you...)

[F]My raw ca[C]ndy pas[G]sion is bi[C]tter-sw[F]eet,
On[C]to the te[G]eth,
'C[F]ause she would ra[C]ther fall in cho[G]colate,
Than f[C]all in lo[F]ve, esp[C]ecially with m[G]e.
I st[Dm]ood un[C]der the wa[F]terf[G]all,
With a k[Dm]iwi pin[C]eapple p[F]aras[G]ol,
[Dm]As Cind[C]erella dropped the cry[F]stal b[G]all,
And made a con[Am]crete c[E7]avern of cate[C]rpillar co[Dm]ncert h[F]all. [Fm]

I wish that we could sa[G]il o[Am]ur s[F]ad da[C]ys awa[G]y, f[Am]orev[C]er, [F]
In de[G]ep b[Am]lue s[F]eas of pa[C]per ma[G]ché,
(Let's da[Am]nce in the moon[C]light!)
 A bar[F]racuda cha[G]sed o[Am]ur d[F]og da[C]ys aw[G]ay, f[Am]orev[C]er,[F]
Let's s[G]ink [Am]or sw[F]im, 'til [C]we fall in lo[G]ve,
(And da[Am]nce in the moo[C]nlight!)
 When [F]we join The Ya[C]cht Club.

[Dm]Don't sweat un[C]der your o[F]verco[G]at,
'Cause my he[Dm]art can't ho[C]ver this pa[F]ddle bo[G]at,
Y[Dm]ou'll hit the bo[C]ttom of the hig[F]hest no[G]te,
And the cha[Am]tty t[E7]ree frogs will ne[C]ver wanna l[Dm]eave your th[F]roat.[Fm]

(Or[Dm]ange eclipse, I can ta[C]ste your lips,
In the ci[F]trus afte[G]rnoon)
