The Top and the Ball - Stephin Merritt[00:00:01]

I was made so they say[00:00:09]

In the burgomaster's shop[00:00:11]

By whom else but the mayor[00:00:13]

I'm one important top[00:00:15]

Do i know you she said[00:00:17]

For i do not speak with all[00:00:19]

I've got cork in my head[00:00:21]

I am one beautiful ball [00:00:23]

Can't we be sweethearts[00:00:26]

No i don't think so[00:00:28]

Shan't we be sweethearts[00:00:30]

No[00:00:33]

There are reasons why we will not tootle together[00:00:34]

You were made from some tree[00:00:39]

Me of african leather[00:00:41]

And besides there's a swallow[00:00:43]

Who always says[00:00:46]

I will[00:00:47]

There's a promise or almost[00:00:47]

And your chances are nil[00:00:50]

We can't be sweethearts[00:00:52]

About that swallow[00:00:54]

We shan't be sweethearts[00:00:56]

Oh[00:00:59]

Soon the ball disappears[00:01:01]

She just bounced off somewhere[00:01:03]

Then the top after years[00:01:05]

Spins away into thin air[00:01:07]

When they meet in the gutter[00:01:09]

She's droopy old and wet[00:01:11]

Though her heart's all aflutter[00:01:13]

He's sure they haven't met[00:01:15]

Were we old sweethearts[00:01:17]

No i don't think so[00:01:20]

Sure we weren't sweethearts[00:01:22]

No[00:01:25]

In the garbage old friends[00:01:27]

Look even older[00:01:30]

In the garbage even old friends[00:01:32]

Get the cold shoulder[00:01:36]

Can't we be sweethearts[00:01:40]
