Lily Loo

Lily, the dreamer
Went out to sea
On an old fashioned steamer
Named after some dear old queen

And she likes
to think that her eyes
Are the portal to some
magic place in time

Where she dances with Krishna
Drinks tea with the Buddha
And politely declines
Some of Jesus' wine...

And when all this runs dry
She zips open the sky
And the scene washes clean
And some new friends arrive

Lily Loo, is this a dream
awaking your soul at the seams?
Or really do you have the means
To give to it all you can dream?
As we sing...

Lily lily lily lily loo
Lilly Lilly Lily Lily looooo
Sweet Lily Loo!

And always with Lily
Her presence, a must
Is no other, than mother
The pearl of her trust

Holding hands by the sea side
Building castles all ruled by
The ivory hand of Queen Lily's command

And when all this runs dry
She grabs hold of the tide
And pulls it over her shoulders
And closes her eyes

Lily Lou, Is this a dream
Awaking your soul at the seams?
Or really do, you have the means
to give to it all you can dream
As we sing

Lily lily lily lily loo
Lilly Lilly Lily Lily looooo
Sweet Lily Loo!

Silly Lily!

Lily lily lily lily loo
Lilly Lilly Lily Lily looooo
Sweet Lily Loo!

And her people sing...

Lily lily lily lily loo
Lilly Lilly Lily Lily looooo
Sweet Lily Loo!

Jesus, Buddha, Krishna!

Lily lily lily lily loo
Lilly Lilly Lily Lily looooo
Sweet Lily Loo!
