“Magnolia Simms” Lyrics
“One, two, three… [clears throat]… Heh, it’s one of those days.”
Love to me is blue-eyed and blonde
Oh, that’s sweet Magnolia
Apple pie on the window, still warm
That’s my sweet Magnolia
Walking under a sky that’s so blue
After rain has fallen
When she’s walking so close by my side
My troubles seem to just run and hide
La dee, da dum, la da-da-da dee, la da-da dum
Va-va vroom, da-da doo, ley la dee
La dee, da dum, la da-da dee, dee-dee bum
Ba ba ee boo bee ee bum, ma hum
Well, walking under a sky that’s so blue, yeh
After rain has fallen
When she’s walking so close by my side
My troubles seem to just run and hide
Magnolia Simms is my little doll
I can’t live without her
For if she’d go, my world will just fall
Stay with me, Magnolia, ah-ha
Stay with me, Magnolia, ah-ha, ha ha
Loo dee deedly doo
La da, da dee-dee, la hum, uh hum
Loo dee a ha ha-ha, ooh-hoo ooh-hoo ooh-hoo
Ah ha, ha ha
Ah, ha, ha
