lyrics

I express my affection tenderly: I love you
Pretty little island in a scenic sea: Isle of View
Corridor lined with the bow-wood tree: aisle of yew
You never know what will come next: meaning depends on context.

Don't you know I love you?
You don't know I love you
You know I don't love you
No you don't, I love you

Life's too short for a one-way trip: Time flies
Bugs in the herbs, the screen door's ripped: thyme flies
Measure how fast men unzip: time flies
Don't become confused and vexed: meaning depends on context.

I sneer at you, I'm an alpha male: condescending
Prisoner walks downstairs in jail: con descending
Remember Condoleeza? She writes e-mail: Condi sending
Language, it is cursed and hexed: meaning depends on context

The vernal dance our ancestors did: Rites Of Spring
His letter tells where the well is hid: writes of spring
They invented the airplane, then had kids: Wrights' offspring
By now you must be quite perplexed: meaning depends on context

I'm baking bread, so first, you see: I knead dough
I sing re mi fa so la ti: I need doh
I got Bambi's mother with my knee: I kneed doe
Exceptions to rules aren't indexed, and meaning depends on context.

He weaves across the dotted line: road hog
I arrived on a motorcycle, loud and fine: rode hawg
I used my dory to transport swine: rowed hog
If you think you understand, you're ex-tremely misled by context
