[Intro]
Hello, hello
[Verse 1]

I'm a fucking all star, baby

[Bridge]

Gliding through the blooming meadow
Beauty all around, all around me
Marigold and honeysuckle
Daisy dukes of daffodil yellow
I could see the surfers surfing
As we fly above, the ocean
Re-emerging from the darkness
Beauty all around, all around me
There's beauty all around, all around me
Boy, jump on
I'll take you for a ride up on my butterfly wings
We can go up in the sky, there's clouds of ice cream
Pick your favorite flavor boy, just stay beside me
Hold on tight, I'll take you higher
[Outro]
Oi!
