The Magnetic Fields - Zebra lyrics

So we got married in Venice in June

So what?

We circled the Earth in a hot air balloon

So what?

and the rest of our lives

is one long honeymoon

well, that doesn't mean we're in love

If you really loved me

you'd buy me a beautiful pearl

but you've already bought me

all of the pearls in the world

so there's one thing I crave

when my days become ho-hum and blah

I want a zebra

We've got so many tchotchkes

we've pratically emptied the Louvre

In most of our palaces

there's hardly room to manoeuvre

I shan't go to Balie today

I must stay home and Hoovre

up the gold dust

That doesn't mean we're in love

If you really loved me

you'd buy me the Great Pyramid

Oh, I'm so forgetful, you already did

But there's one think I need

if you won't think I'm greedy, my deah

another zebra

Zelda looks lonely, I want a zebra
