Gigantic Lyrics

[Verse 1: Kim Deal]
And this I know, his teeth as white as snow
What a gas it was to see him
Walk her every day into a shady place
With her lips she said, she said

[Pre-Chorus: Kim Deal]
"Hey Paul, hey Paul, hey Paul, let's have a ball
Hey Paul, hey Paul, hey Paul, let's have a ball
Hey Paul, hey Paul, hey Paul, let's have a ball"

[Chorus: Kim Deal & Frank Black]
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big, big love
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big, big love

[Verse 2: Kim Deal]
Lovely legs, they're a...
What a big black mess, what a hunk of love
He'd walk her every day into a shady place
He's like the dark, but I'd want him

[Pre-Chorus: Kim Deal]
"Hey Paul, hey Paul, hey Paul, let's have a ball
Hey Paul, hey Paul, hey Paul, let's have a ball
Hey Paul, hey Paul, hey Paul, let's have a ball"

[Chorus: Kim Deal & Frank Black]
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big, big love
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big, big love

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Kim Deal & Frank Black]
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big, big love
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big, big love
A big, big love, a big, big love
A big, big love, a big, big love
A big, big love, a big, big love
A big, big love, a big, big love

[Instrumental Outro]
