Dandier Than Dan the Dandy Dandelion
Dandier Than Dan The Dandy Dandelion
I was sitting in the middle of a lush green field
Violet colored flowers all around,
So I leaned over and took a little nibble
I leaned over and took a little nibble
Took me by surprise as the world started spinnin'
Was I in the center or simply kissing the surface
Felt like I was gonna go insane
Until I felt the ocean tickling the tips of my toes
Slowly sinking into the shallow shore
The sands caressed my fingertips
I didn't know what was going on
Until the lightning struck
And I was sitting on a raft in middle of a raging sea
With Dan the Dandy Dandelion
The flower was so hip
And he wore shades as big as dinner plates
He wore shades as big as dinner plates
And he whispered in my ear advice
And I raised a hand
"Why should I take advice from Dan the Dandy Dandelion?"
Then I blinked and I was on top of a snowy mountain top
The cold was biting at my flesh
The silence was ringing in my ears
The snow collecting on my face
Making me look like a bearded old man
But I had no idea where I was
And Dan the Dandy Dandelion certainly wasn't a-talkin'
Sitting in a little clay pot giving me a smug look
So I took Dan the Dandy Dandelion
And I threw him off of my mountain
I threw him off of my mountain
Told him not to bring his leafy leers here
And then I blinked
The world turned black
Everything began to spin again
I saw the face of George Washington
Gossiping with Elvis
Before he threw a pie and it hit me in the face
I believe it was apple pie
But that pie hit my face
That pie hit my face
When I opened my eyes
I was in a lush green field
Surrounded
And all I wondered was
How in the world I got there
