lyrics

Namesake

I saw you yesterday in the cafet3ria
Wearing the sweater that brought back memories
Of the day I met you, and the curiosity exhibited when I first learned your name

And I dreamed we got along famously
And you introduced me to your extended family
Back home where you were born,
The only state, island, continent, and country in all of the world

And I dreamed I’d visit via connecting flight
From Middle Earth, of which the tours are affordable
But I’d be detained by a customs officer
Who found my replica of Narsil disagreeable

Oh, you are just a national capital
And oh, you are just a Pittsburgh penguin
But mostly you’re a stone house, with strong foundations
A chateau with a moat that’s difficult to cross

And I dreamed you’d teach me to boomerang
Before we’d visit the opera where I would
Get myself cultured and learn your foreign ways
And finally find out what the hell a joey is

And I dreamed of wallabies dancing in the prairie
While waltzing Matilda is having a threeway
As we light the barbie in preparation
Aboriginals are staying for supper!

Oh, you are just a national capital
And oh, you are just a Pittsburgh penguin
But mostly you’re the host of the y2k olympics
A half head of hair that I wholly adore
