I’m your only friend I’m not your only friend But I’m a little glowing friend But really I’m not actually your friend But I am… Blue canary in the outlet by the lightswitch Who watches over you! Make a little birdhouse in your soul. Not to put too fine a point on it - Say I’m the only bee in your bonnet! Make a little birdhouse in your soul. I have a secret to tell From my electrical well It’s a simple message and I’m leaving out the whistles and bells All the room must listen to me Filibuster vigilantly My name is Blue Canary - One note: spelled L-I-T-E. My story’s infinite - Like the Longine’s Symphony, it doesn’t rest. (Chorus) There’s a picture opposite me Of my primitive ancestry Which stood on rocky shores And kept the beaches shipwreck free While I respect that a lot I’d be fired if that were my job After killing Jason off And countless screaming Argonauts Bluebird of friendliness Like guardian angels, it is always there (Chorus) While you’re at it Keep a nightlight on inside the birdhouse in your soul… Hey, does it count as fair use if you can quote the whole song from memory? ---

There’s a picture opposite me Of my primitive ancestry Who stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free Though I respect that a lot I’d be fired if that were my job After killing Jason off and countless screaming argonauts (That’s just the greatest phrase ever.

meh, simultaneous posting is not a good way to begin the day. Pretend I, uh, sang about James K Polk instead. He fulfilled our Manifest Destiny, after all. And after he did all that, he sought no second term. ---

In four short years he met his every goal He seized the whole Southwest from Mexico Made sure the tariffs fell, and made the British sell The Oregon Territory He built an independent Treasury Having done all this, he sought no second term But precious few have mourned the passing of Mr. James K. Polk, our eleventh President Young Hickory, Napoleon of the South… ---
