Sloppy Jane - Lullaby Formica lyrics
[Sloppy Jane - Lullaby Formica lyrics]
Nine little horses sitting in my hand, oh
Told if I hold 'em, I could be a better man
One ran away 'cause he could not wait, oh
Now I've only got eight
Eight little horses in my jacket pocket, I
Wore it so long, it started to rot
One couldn't stand it
Jumped down the shower drain
Now I've got less than eight
Seven little horses playin' by the trees
Cops and robbers
Believe it's all make-believe
'Til one got sick
Eating cakes made of sticks
Now I've only got six
Six little horses lying in the meadow
Not kidding, we saw the lion's tail
Ate one horse and it ate one more and
Now I've only got four
Four little horses
We're traveling the world
Three boy horses and one that's a girl
One jumped off a boat and was lost at sea
And now I've only got three
Three little horses
Sitting in my room and I'm
Looking at them but I'm thinking about you
Gave you my favorite
The one painted blue and
Now I've only got two
Two little horses, dancing with each other
They're so very different
But they love one another
One realized that love's just not enough
So now I've only got one
One little horse is still sittin' in my hand
Told if I hold him, I could be a better man
But I know he deserves so much better than me
So I, I set the last one free
Mmm mmm
Mmm mmm
If you become a carousel
Or if you're sold for glue
Or if you're cold to me
My tongue will stick to you
Told if I hold 'em, I could be a better man
One ran away 'cause he could not wait, oh
Now I've only got eight
Eight little horses in my jacket pocket, I
Wore it so long, it started to rot
One couldn't stand it
Jumped down the shower drain
Now I've got less than eight
Seven little horses playin' by the trees
Cops and robbers
Believe it's all make-believe
'Til one got sick
Eating cakes made of sticks
Now I've only got six
Six little horses lying in the meadow
Not kidding, we saw the lion's tail
Ate one horse and it ate one more and
Now I've only got four
Four little horses
We're traveling the world
Three boy horses and one that's a girl
One jumped off a boat and was lost at sea
And now I've only got three
Three little horses
Sitting in my room and I'm
Looking at them but I'm thinking about you
Gave you my favorite
The one painted blue and
Now I've only got two
Two little horses, dancing with each other
They're so very different
But they love one another
One realized that love's just not enough
So now I've only got one
One little horse is still sittin' in my hand
Told if I hold him, I could be a better man
But I know he deserves so much better than me
So I, I set the last one free
Mmm mmm
Mmm mmm
If you become a carousel
Or if you're sold for glue
Or if you're cold to me
My tongue will stick to you
