Wimple Winch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh what pretty little beautiful lollipop minds we have
Butterfly's a fellow always dressed in yellow
We call him Sunshine
Tree stump is his pillow and his roof's a weeping willow
The stars a road sign
Sunshine is his name and he'll always be the sameButterfly's a fellow and he looks so mellow
Tulip is a girl and she's always in a whirl
We call her Rainbow
Velvet is her dress and she never gets depressed
She never goes home
Rainbow is her name and she'll always be the same
Tulip is a girl and she's in another world
Oh, oh, oh
Oh what pretty little beautiful lollipop minds we have
Oh what pretty little beautiful lollipop minds we have
Sunshine follows Rainbow everywhere she goes, he goes
We call them Together
They never wear a frown and they never feel down
As warm as the weather
Together are their names and we know they'll never change
Butterfly and Tulip are two young lovers
Oh what pretty little beautiful lollipop minds we have
Oh what pretty little beautiful lollipop minds we have
