about

The # 1 summer jam. The answering machine message that every girl wants to get from her "secret" admirer.

lyrics

Hey, it's me. Did you the message that I left to see
If you got the flowers that I sent to you?
I also sent some to your work you know it's true
I'll be waiting for you in the park,
as you go jogging by...

Do you remember
The trip we took to see the pyramids?
I know it hasn't happened yet,
but it would be cool if it did.
I photoshopped a photograph of us out in Egypt.
Ok, I don't have photoshop. but I pulled a nifty trick
I took your yearbook and cut out a picture of you,
pasted it next to a picture of me pasted on a pyramid that I drew.
There's a camel there, in our destination.
What a time we'll have,
on our dream vacation.

Yesterday, I wrote a real longer letter to you.
Just to say, I can think of nothing better now,
than me and you waiting at the same bus stop.
And I'll see you when you're working down at the malt shop,
as you go skating by...

Do you remember
The trip we took to Kokomo?
I know it hasn't happened yet,
but I'd really like to go.
I made a painting, of us out on our trip
Ok, I don't know how to paint, so this is what I did.
I took your yearbook and cut out a picture of you,
pasted it next to a picture of me pasted on a hammock that I drew.
And there's umbrella drinks, in our destination.
What a time we'll have,
on our dream vacation.

What's so great about your boyfriend?
So he knows your last name and has car
I know you'll change your, mind in the end.
Me and you girl, we'll go far.
One day when I'm feeling brave,
I'll walk right up now face to face.
We'll fall in love, you'll meet my mother,
right after I win you over.

Sacks and sacks and sacks of money,
I would rob a bank for you.
Sacks and sacks and sacks of money,
rob a liquor store for you.
Sacks and sacks and sacks of money,
I would stab a cop for you.
Sacks and sacks and sacks of money,
rob a Chuck E Cheese for you.
While you're waiting in the car...

Do you remember,
the trip we took to Greenland?
Ok, I know it doesn't exist,
but things would go just as I planned.
I made a diorama of us there on our trip
Ok, I didn't really do that, but this is what I did.
I stole your yearbook and cut out a picture of you,
pasted it next to a picture of me standing in the snow and an igloo.
And we'll hunt narwhals there, at our destination.
What a time we'll have,
on our dream vacation.

One our dream vacation,
One our dream vacation...
