Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She plays wipe out on the drums
The squirrels and the birds come
Gather round and sing the guitar
Oh, I, have you got nothin' to say?
[Verse 2]
When all words fail, she speaks
Her mix tape's a masterpiece
Walks through the garden so the roses can see
Oh, I, have you got nothin' to say?
[Verse 3]
And you can see daisies in her footsteps
Dandelions (Dandelions)
Butterflies (Butterflies)
I wanna be Kate, Kate, Kate, Kate
[Verse 4]
Everyday she wears the same thing
I think she smokes pot
She's everything I want, she's everything I'm not
Oh, I, have you got nothin' to say?
[Verse 5]
She never gets wet
She smiles and it's a rainbow, oh, whoa
And she speaks (And she speaks)
And she breathes (And she breathes)
I wanna be Kate, Kate, Kate, Kate
[Verse 6]
Down by Rosemary and Cameron
She hands out the Bhagavad Gita
I see her round every couple days
I wanna see her so that I can say, "Hey, Kate"
[Verse 7]
Ooh, la, la, la, ooh, la, la, la
Ooh, la, la, la, la
Doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo
[Verse 8]
She never gets wet
She smiles and it's a rainbow, oh, whoa
You can see (You can see)
I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna be Kate, Kate, Kate
No, no, Kate, Kate, Kate
No, no, no, no, no, no
