Lyrics for In the Drink

I'm in the drink for love And I want to drink your love Swimmin' a swim in the suds I want to drink your blood Up like a rocket, down like the rain Back and forth forth like a choo-choo train I have a secret that just won't keep All I wanna do is brush your teeth Butterfly kisses And the taste of delicious I'd like to sip the sap from your tree And the honey in the tea Dripping amber drips Patiently I'm in the drink for love And I want to drink your love Squishin toes in the mud I want to drink your blood I'm in the drink for love And I wnat to drink your love Squishin' toes in the mud I want to drink your blood Caught a snowflake on my tongue A feathery crystal in the flavor of gum Dropping clouds fallin' fast Are you going to try some while they last? Once the birds have migrated Come Spring twitterpaited Up the river, I journey on 'Cause this salmon is ready to spawn If you have some swimming lessons It would make it easier I'm in the drink for love And I want to drink your love Swimmin' a swim in the suds I want to drink your blood
