Sunny Side Promise

(doo-wop-doo-doo) The market man said pick one,

so I picked the biggest one.

Nine kilos of devotion underneath the August sun.

No bag was ever built for this.

My arms found out today.

Two kilometers of loving you the heaviest possible way.

Carry that melon! (Carry it home!) Sweet green promise!

(Twenty minutes to go!) Some men bring you roses,

babe, some bring diamond rings.

I bring nine kilos of summer and my trembling everything.

Switched arms at the pharmacy.

Rested at the church.

Old men on the benches nodded.

They have carried.

They know the work.

Carry that melon! (Carry it home!)

And when she cut it open...

and it was perfect...

and she gave me the first slice...

Worth every meter.

Every single meter. (shoo-doo-wop-sha-la-la)
