lyrics

Tutu
A twirling swirling blur of fluffy pinkness
she likes to wear her tutu on the beach
smiles spreading laughter grows everywhere she goes
though by nightfall she’ll be full of sand beneath

I’ll walk around in glittered shoes
shine my light everywhere I choose
happy wild and free is such a liberating view
I want to wear my tutu too

the fuzzy fin appears behind the lettuce
as he roams the aisles in his dolphin suit
Isn’t halloween 3 months away a frowning lady chides
why ask for reasons when there’s joy so absolute

I’ll walk around in glittered shoes
shine my light everywhere i choose
happy wild and free is such a liberating view
I want to wear my tutu too

I won’t give in to fear and pessimism
I’ll celebrate the joy of being alive

I’ll walk around in glittered shoes
shine my light everywhere i choose
happy wild and free is such a liberating view
I want to wear my tutu too
