Afternoon Songtext
von Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers

You know, it′s afternoon
Yeah, yeah
And there's the moon,
So pale
And all the trees are whisperin′ and the elves are whisperin' to me,
That's right
I am, I am
How they whisper so nice
I am, I am
They whisper to me
I am, I am
They whisper to me
I am, I am
Doo-pop doo-pop da-tommy-too-pop
Doo-pop doo-pop da-tommy-too-pop
I am, I am
The wind cries
I am, I am


For you see, it′s afternoon
Yeah, yeah
There′s the moon, it's so pale
All the plants whisper, the lake and the lilies, they whisper a song to me
It sounds like this
I am, I am
That′s what it sounds like
I am, I am
I am, I am
I am, I am
Doo-pop doo-pop da-tommy-too-pop
Doo-pop doo-pop da-tommy-too-pop
Doo-pop doo-pop da-tommy-too-pop
Doo-pop doo-pop da-tommy-too-pop
I am, I am
I am, I am

I am, I am
I am, I am
Two more times...
I am, I am
I am, I am
