Lyrics

Listen to me
Listen to what I say
Watch my lips move
Observe my appendages sway

In the wind
A paper bag
In the back seat
Windows down, windows down

Listen to me
Listen to what I say
Watch my lips move
Observe my appendages sway

In the wind
A paper bag
In the back seat
Windows down, windows down
In the wind
A paper bag
In the back seat
Windows down, windows down

Listen to me
Listen to what I say
Watch my lips move
Observe my appendages sway
In the wind
A paper bag
In the back seat
Windows down, windows down
Spread my jam
All about
This here town
Windows down
