Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And when God gave out rhythm
He sure was good to you
You can add, subtract, multiply and divide
By two
[Verse 2]
I know today's your birthday
And I did not buy no rose
But I wrote this song instead and I call it
"Popsicle Toes"
[Verse 3]
Popsicle toes
Popsicle toes are always froze
Popsicle toes
You're so brave to expose all those popsicle toes
[Verse 4]
You must've been Miss Pennsylvania
With all this pulchritude
How come you always load your Pentax
When I'm in the nude
[Verse 5]
We oughta have a birthday party
And you can wear your birthday clothes
We can hit the floor
And go explore
Those popsicle toes
[Verse 6]
You got the nicest North America
This sailor ever saw
I'd like to feel your warm Brazil
And touch your Panama
[Verse 7]
But your Tierra del Fuegos
Are nearly always froze
We gotta seesaw
Until we unthaw
Those popsicle toes
[Verse 8]
Popsicle toes
Popsicle toes are always froze
Popsicle toes
You're so brave to expose all those popsicle toes
