OF MONTREAL
"Butterscotching Mr. Lynn"

I like you 'cause you look like a giraffe stretching out
It's neck to get to fruit in a tall tree
You're always occupied with girly things your room
Is filled with girly posters of teen idols
And roller coasters and funny things like that
You've got a red and purple striped stuffed animal cat
That takes up half the bed
I like to pretend you're made out of a drawbridge
Operator's favorite radio program
"Argh, you're listening to 81.3 sound of the sea"
While I'm training troops in parachutes how to act
Froufrou so when their seargents return from butterscotching Mr. Lynn
They can do the charlston while I paint the face of Private Fontaine
On his enemies face and do the same to him
Until the ballrooms filled with soldiers wondering
If they like them selves and all are forced to forgive and forget
