Warm and fuzzy

...for reasons that will become apparent in like 13 hours... (also: GO PANDA!)

Mia Doi Todd - Courting

If I were a kangaroo, I'd want to carry you in my pocket.
If I were a koala bear, I'd wanna always have you there in my pocket.
Would you be my baby?
Would you be my baby?
If I were a chimpanzee, I'd take you out and sing in my jungle.
If I were an orang-utan, I'd want you to come and hang around in my jungle.
Would you be my monkey?
Would you be my monkey?
If I were a nightingale, my songs would float like a trail behind you.
If I were an albatross, there'd be no sea or ocean I would not cross to find you.
Would you be my birdie?
Would you be my birdie?
If I were your next-door neighbour, I'd provide anonymous favours every day.
If I were just a casual acquaintance, I'd renew my vow of determined patience every day.
Would you be my baby?
Would you be my monkey?
Would you be my birdie?
And could I be your baby?
