POPSICLE TOES
(Michael Franks)
Dave Frishberg


When God gave out rhythm 
He Sure was good to you 
You can add, subtract, multiply and divide by two 

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."

Popsicle toes 
Popsicle toes are always froze 
Popsicle toes 
You're so brave to expose 
All those Popsicle toes 

You must have been Mr. Olympian 
With all that amplitude; 
How come you always load your Pentax when I am in the nude? 
We can have a birthday party and you can wear your birthday clothes, 
Then we can hit the floor and go explore those Popsicle toes 

You've got the finest North America 
This sailor ever saw 
I like to feel your warm Brazil and touch your Panama. 
But your Tierra del Fuegos are nearly always froze 
We've got to seesaw 'til we finally thaw those Popsicle toes.
