lyrics

1) Pantomime - m.litton

Sippin’ mint julep beneath the moon, dancin’ by candlelight
A butterfly his cocoon, I never wanna leave your side
The wind goes puff on a dandelion, the birds ‘n bees just hum
A pair of wings in paradise when two hearts beat as one

Chorus: Pantomime, love don’t need no words
Each night our bodies rhyme another verse
Let the little flame improvise the fire
You will always kindle my desire

You make it steam like a jungle inside this artic igloo
You got me jumpin’ right up out of my skin
With your banana voodoo
If they’re out of helium ‘n there’re big balloon won’t rise
Just put us lovebirds in the nest, by golly girl she’ll fly
(chorus)

Shelley, Keats ‘n Lord Byron wrote some fine refrains
But when we start in coupleting, we put them all to shame
You got that rhythm I like to rhyme ‘n all them adjectives
Let’s scratch another verse into the sand
And let it wash on out to sea
(chorus)
