Helicopter
Oh heli -
Oh heli -
I'm crouching here with a telescope in hand,
Looking across our lego land.
I really think it's about time that she came down.
She a laughing giggly whirlybird.
She got to be obscene to be obheard.
I really think its about time that she came down.
And I object to all the air male that
she pick up -
the air male that she pick up -
the air male that she pick up.
When she's up there twirling round,
Just like a helicopter - copter.
She's landing on the town;
It's about time that I stopped her - stopped her.
When she's up there twirling round,
Just like a helicopter - copter.
Oh heli -
Oh heli -
Now she's away from convent she's
gone wild.
Grown from a nice young lady to a child.
I really think its about time that she came down.
She a laughing giggly whirlybird.
She got to be obscene to be obheard.
I really think it's about time that she came down.
Lego
Legos are small, interlocking building blocks. [ Lego.com
]
Whirlybird
A whirlybird is another name for a helicopter.
Obheard
This is just a bit of word play. "Ob" slapped in front
of "heard' because it's amusing ("ob-scene"/"ob-heard"),
it rhymes and it gives the proper number of syllables.
Air Male
An obvious pun on "air mail" and "picking up
males," but I thought I'd mention it anyway - just in case
it wasn't as obvious as I thought.
Convent
-- As in: a place where nuns live, a.k.a a nunnery.
Grown from a nice
young lady to a child
I went to an all-girls,
Catholic high school. This happens a lot...
