40 Dogs (Like Romeo and Juliet) Lyrics by Bob Schneider

Lovely Creatures

2009

[Verse 1]
Well, if I spell it out, if I get it out
Will you hear me when I tell you about
What I have to say before it gets too late
It's not as easy as they said it'd be
But there’s something right about you and me
Something right about you and me
[Verse 2]
Well, you’re the color of a burning brook
You’re the color of a sideways look
From an undercover cop in a comic book;
You're the color of a storm in June
You're the color of the moon
You're the color of the night, that’s right
The color of a fight you move me
You’re the color of the colored part of the Wizard of Oz movie
[Chorus]
We're like Romeo and Juliet
We're like 40 dogs; cigarettes
We're like good times that haven’t happened yet but will
An' I can tell you where we're gonna be
When the whole world falls in-to the sea
We’ll be livin’ ever after, happily
[Verse 3]
All the boys taking you for granted
Tell you what they want with their eyes all slanted
I don’t like the way they look at you
I don’t like the way they talk, too
I don’t like the way they talk to you
I wouldn’t let 'em talk to you like that
[Verse 4]
Put 'em up high reach for the ceiling
Tell 'em that I don't walk, dammit
I'm reelin'
It ain't no crime it's just dreams
We’re stealing
Anything to get more of this feeling
You take the high and I'll take the low
We'll get there before you know
We ain't got no time to waste
We got too much life to taste
[Chorus]
We're like Romeo and Juliet
And 40 dogs cigarettes
We're like good times that haven’t happened yet but will
An' I can tell you where we're gonna be
When the whole world falls in-to the sea
We'll be livin’ ever after happily
[Verse 5]
Sometimes you remind me of a moonbeam
On the ghost of a moonbeam
Out on the beach down by the coast
Slip into the nil like the most..
Beautiful thing...
I've ever seen
[Verse 6]
Come out, tonight, come out with me, baby
We'll throw the careful into the crazy
Turn the sky black into a sky blue
Turn a close shave into a hoo hoo!
What I say is true
Make a fire, gotta burn a few
Make a fire, gotta burn a few
We can do what we want to do
[Chorus]
We're like Romeo and Juliet
40 dogs cigarettes
We're like good times that haven’t happened yet but will
I can tell you where we're gonna be
When the whole world falls in-to the sea
We'll be livin’ ever after happily
