JONATHAN RICHMAN AND THE MODERN LOVERS
"Afternoon"

You know, it's afternoon
Yeah, yeah
And there's the moon,
So pale
And all the trees are whisperin' and the elves are whisperin' to me,
That's right
I am, I am
How they whisper so nice
I am, I am
They whisper to me
I am, I am
They whisper to me
I am, I am
Doo-pop doo-pop da-tommy-too-pop
Doo-pop doo-pop da-tommy-too-pop
I am, I am
The wind cries
I am, I am
For you see, it's afternoon
Yeah, yeah
There's the moon, it's so pale
All the plants whisper, the lake and the lilies, they whisper a song to me
It sounds like this
I am, I am
That's what it sounds like
I am, I am
I am, I am
I am, I am
Doo-pop doo-pop da-tommy-too-pop
Doo-pop doo-pop da-tommy-too-pop
Doo-pop doo-pop da-tommy-too-pop
Doo-pop doo-pop da-tommy-too-pop
I am, I am
I am, I am
I am, I am
I am, I am
Two more times...
I am, I am
I am, I am
