"Goldy" lyrics - EELS

I stumbled on a Marilyn McCoo
I didn't know what to do
So hot her chimney smoked
Forgot to open the flue
And smoke filled up the room
Man, I really choked

[Chorus:]
Ain't it funny how the only one I need in the world
Is a goldfish swimming in a bowl? (Oh Goldy)
It's kinda funny how the only one I need in the world
Is a goldfish swimming in a bowl

Thumbin' through the classifieds
Found a girl looking for a guy
As long as he's into furries
Now I'm putting on my fancy clothes
I combed my hair, even wearing a bowtie
The tail between my legs has got me worried

[Chorus:]
Ain't it funny how the only one I need in the world
Is a goldfish swimming in a bowl? (Oh Goldy)
It's kinda funny how the only one I need in the world
Is a goldfish swimming in a bowl

[Bridge:]
A lotta fish in the sea
But he's sticking with me
A lotta fish in the sea
But he's all that I need
A lotta fish in the sea (Ain't it funny how the only one I need in the world)
But he's sticking with me (Is a goldfish swimming in a bowl?)
A lotta fish in the sea (Ain't it funny how the only one I need in the world)
But he's all that I need (Is a goldfish swimming in a bowl?)
Yeah

Send me off to paradise
Please forgive me all my vices
I've done my best
Tried not to mess with this world
I think I'm gonna fly my friend
Start this life all over again
Even if I come back twice
It's nice to imagine Goldy being mine
