- Flip-Flops -

If I were a millipede
         - / Flip-Flops

         The only thing I wanted was slippers
         - / Flip-Flops

         Five hundred pairs - you might think it's a lot
         - / Flip-Flops

         The best "doctor" for my tiny little feet 
         - / Flip-Flops

         Let it be my greatest happiness
         - / Flip-Flops

         On the beach with lovely bathing water
         - / Flip-Flops

         Sun through my purple sunshine hat
         - / Flip-Flops

         I prefer the sweet taste of ice cream
         - / Flip-Flops

         Satisfaction prevents envy, soul or not -
         It would be a floating summer symphony
         filled with grains of sand, salt, sun
         and a lot of Flip-Flops
