La La La
The Bird and the Bee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La la la la la, come on, come on, come on, come on
Make yourself free, make yourself grow
Come on up into the attic, come and see the glow up
Pretty Adiel kissing everyone she doesn't know
And the pigs are eating popcorn, selling tickets to the show
Watching movies on the ceiling, all the R.E.S we know
If there's someone you don't like you don't have to say hello
There's no reason you should leave, there's no reason you should go
La la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la
La la la la la, come on, come on, come on, come on
Take yourself out here to Tambourine
We have bloated up your eyes and fetching tenderines
If you open up your box you'll find a time machine
If you'll try to find a scratch, there'll be no signs where you have been
Give yourself up, make yourself seen
Don't tell us that you can't believe is sampling
La la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la
La la la la la, come on, come on, come on, come on
La la la la, la la la la la, la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la, la la la, come on, come on, come on, come on
La la la la, la la la la la, la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la, la la la, come on, come on, come on, come on

@davidking1665
I heard this song at the CVS and had to Google "La la la come on come on". Can't believe I found it.
@thecosmicblueautie
I WISH it was.
@sylvainguillemettte2800
Heard it in my (now closed) music store. No chance that i could heard this on the radio.
@leahcimolrac1477
I worked in a department store many years ago and “Again and Again” was one of the songs that got repeated on the satellite radio. Had no clue who they were but liked it. Found a bunch of their other songs. Made working that miserable job worth it. Great band. Ended up working in a venue a couple of years later where they played live.
@BentigiriIsCewl
Nobody asked but she says "La" 120 times in this entire song.
