Spinning Around in the Air

Let me give praise to your sparkling eyes
And your coloured hair
Let me spend ages on poetic phrases
To show I care
Let me go grazing on dappled green pastures
Where you're the mare let me rephrase that
I think there's a better line there
Spinning around in the air

Let me donate something to a kid's charity
Of your choice
For you I would willingly be a worse traitor
Than William Joyce
If I could sing I would sing you a song
In Sam Cooke's voice let me rephrase that
I think there's a better line there
Spinning around in the air
Are you happy now? Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Are you really happy now?
Say yeah, yeah, yeah tell me where it hurts
It hurts there and there and there
Adverbs and nouns juicy and round
Spinning around in the air

Are you happy now? Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Are you really happy now?
Say yeah, yeah, yeah tell me where it hurts
It hurts there and there and there
Adverbs and nouns juicy and round
Spinning around in the air

Madam Onassis took Ari's old glasses
And put them on she said "I see ships" and
She started to quip about old Boston
I climbed over her just to climb upon you
What did I do wrong? Let me rephrase that
I think there's a better line there
Spinning around in the air
