A sleepy lagoon
Our two hearts in bloom and two on a toilet
A sleepy lagoon
Reflectin' our poo

A sleepy lagoon
Reflectin' our poo
And lightly lands
Our urine stream
That sparkles and glimmers

A sleepy lagoon
A tropical moon and two on an island
A sleepy lagoon
And two hearts in tune
In some lullaby land
The fireflies gleam
Reflect in the stream
They sparkle and shimmer
A tropical moon and two on an island
A sleepy lagoon
And two hearts in tune
In some lullaby land
The fireflies gleam
Reflect in the stream
They sparkle and shimmer
