The Magnetic Fields - Zebra lyrics

So we got married in Venice in June, so what?
We circled the earth in a hot air balloon
So what? And the rest of our lives
Is one long honeymoon
Well, that doesn't mean we're in love

If you really loved me
You'd buy me a beautiful pearl
But, you've already bought me
All of the pearls in the world
So there's one thing I crave
When my days become ho hum and blah
I want a zebra we've got so many tchotchkes
We've practically emptied the Louvre
In most of our palaces
There's hardly room to maneuver
Well I shan't go to Bali today
I must stay home and Hoover up the gold dust
That doesn't mean we're in love

If you really loved me


You'd buy me the Great Pyramid
Oh, I'm so forgetful, you already did
But there's one thing I need
If you won't think I'm greedy, my dear
Another zebra
Zelda looks lonely, I want a zebra
