"How to Make a Baby Elephant Float"
Yo La Tengo

I like to hold hands when we walk.
I'm not averse to pillow talk
but I prefer a private joke
The memory it evokes
Because
It's our punchline,
it's our punchline.

It means so much to us alone.
I love
The wrinkled brow
of anyone else around
Because it's our punchline,
it's our punchline.

And when we're out there you say
It would appear
We laugh and laugh, no one else hears
No one at all.

If you want to be a romantic fool
You dont have to say I love you.
Just say what's in your heart
Non sequitor or not
And without even trying,
Find your punchline,
find your punchline.

(I think I have some of the words wrong but ... ah well! What a silly song.)
