Of Montreal - Joseph And Alexander lyrics

Joseph and Alexander ride their flaming swans

above Miss Dovepost and her loudmouth niece

who had a fear of geese and who even in a corset

looked remarkably obese

Joseph and Alexander redirect their swanis left

to take a gander at the funnel nosed threes

in the Pekinese trees

who are normally a nervous sort

but now seem quite at ease

Joseph and Alexander are brothers and best friends

the wonderful adventures that they share together never end

Be sure to send a smile for me and Dave

to wherever they're pretending to be

I hope they keep a journal

and take lots of photographs

of all the funny things they see

Joseph and Alexander

approach the nest of the speckled salamander

who with utmost care is knitting thermal underwear

She smiles and hollers up

"These are for my grandchildren to wear"

Joseph and Alexander feeling tuckered

now decide to meander back into their beds

and kiss their swanis on the head

but before going to sleepy land

Joseph turned and said

"Aggats, I love you"

Alexander yawned and said

"Joseph me too I love you"
