Alec Eiffel Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pioneer of aerodynamics (Little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
They thought he was real smart Alec (Little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
He thought big they called it a phallic (Little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
They didn't know he was panoramic
[Bridge]
Little Eiffel stands in the archway (Little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
Keepin' low doesn't make no sense
[Verse 2]
Sometimes people can be oh so dense
They didn't want it but he built it anyway (Little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
Little Eiffel stands in the archway (Little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
Keepin' low don't make sense, keepin' low doesn't make no-sense
(Little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
Little Eiffel stands in the archway
[Outro]
Oh, Alexander, I
See you beneath the archway of aerodynamics
Oh, Alexander, I
See you beneath the archway of aerodynamics
Oh, Alexander, I
See you beneath the archway of aerodynamics
Oh, Alexander, I
See you beneath the archway of aerodynamics
Oh, Alexander, I
See you beneath the archway of aerodynamics
Oh, Alexander, I
See you beneath the archway of aerodynamics
Oh, Alexander, I
See you beneath the archway of aerodynamics
Oh, Alexander, I
See you beneath the archway of aerodynamics
