 Ah, don't the sun look good babe?
 Comin' down through the trees
 Don't the ghost town look good, mama?
 Sitting on this meme's knee
 Don't the moon look good?
 Goin' down over the sea
 But don't my gal look fine when she's
 Runnin' after me?

 Where the engineer, he's been tough

 I don't wanna be your boss
 And I can't help it
 If the string gets lost
 Alright
