lyrics

see the little brown boy
he's as old as me
he looks just like chocolate
oh Daddy, can't you see
we are both in first grade
he sits next to me
he took care of me, Dad
when i skinned my knee
he sang a song so pretty
on the jungle gym
when Ricky tried to punch him
i punched Ricky in the chin
Dad, can he come over
to play Nintendo with me?
we could have such fun, Dad

what'd you say, Dad?
...why not?
WHY NOT?

oh
i
see

Arum is astonishingly talented, and a wonderful human being to boot. Her voice and presence slew me the first time i heard her sing years ago, and only continue to do so. Jed Drummond
