Pancake Manor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
UP in the air then DOWN to the ground
Toss a ball up in the air it goes
UP and DOWN
Throw a sock in the air it goes
UP and Down
Look around and see
UP! DOWN!
UP in the air then DOWN to the ground
Toss a monster up in the air it goes
UP and DOWN
Fling a dragon in the air it goes
UP and DOWN
Throw a robot in the air it goes
UP and DOWN
Now let go of your balloon and watch it go UP
and DOWN!
Look around and see
UP! DOWN!
