"Favorite Flavor" lyrics - INDIGO GIRLS

There's people everywhere, playing banjo
And the mandolin and guitar
What am I gonna do when she won't sing with me?
She's got a lollipop, it's wild cherry
Her favorite flavor

She's learning ukulele just like all the kids
She wants to play it her own way, just like I did
What am I gonna when my neighbors won't
Let their kid play with mine? We're wild cherry
Our favorite flavor

With a billion songs inside her
You'd be a fool to try to guide her
Sing along but she'll remind you
That fragile shell, you're too clumsy to hold it
Her little wings-life will unfold them
She can fly, why would you hold her back?

The sun is coming out, the sky is clearing
The animals run and jump, and people cheer
What am I gonna do? It's Independence Day
Now she's gonna play the drum
I see my neighbors and I say

Hey, have a lollipop
Hey, have a sparkler
Hey, let your light shine
Your favorite flavor, my favorite flavor, our favorite flavor
