Smells of cheese curds, the shouts for beer.
The man looks everywhere, and a kid shouts over here.
This must be a sacred moment, as I stop to buy a doughnut

But now I’m getting jealous but I’m not that way
My friend is being swept away from that other friend of mine.
But I see her everyday in school but,

They often compare and chuckle about the woodchucks and cats
None of them understanding what Kara understands
