Autographs, I didn't want to sign
Or pose for photographs
But when I saw you I thought
I should be kissing that girl
No Pina-Colada cuz the blender's on the fritz
We swapped meals and kisses
Tequila shots and wishes
You - quoted films you'd never seen
You- Left your phone and took my key
Across the world
All across my world
While you fell in love with Shamu
I fell in love with you
Foolishly
As our bodies went apart
The nearer grew our hearts
The next time I see you I thought
I will be kissing that girl
Tried to meet in Orlando
Atlanta, Paris no where close
I'm suffering from Long Distance Vertigo
We used to cross a parking lot
Now, to visit you, I need my shots
Across the world
All across my world
While you fell in love with Shamu
I fell in love with you
Take a look
Pink painted toe-nails we'd walk
Under four leaf clovers, we'd talk
Now there's a delay, in everything we say
Cell Phones and time zones
Our long distance chaperone
Across the world
All across my world
While you fell in love with Shamu
I fell in love with you

Saw your pretty picture on the internet
So I shot you off a message thinking "what the heck"
You had said that you liked juice
Organic goodness, fresh squeezed too
Over satellites our loved burned bright
We outgrew cyber space and time
All the cylinders were firing
In my four-stroke human hybrid
Across the world
The jet-stream flew
A boy but not
His bags to you
From a cannon I'm shot
From a cannon I fly
Fly through the air
Fireball in flight
And it's so good
It's so good
We ran a marathon up to Boston
Took our hearts down from adoption
You rushed into the lobby
Diving cupid kamikaze
We hugged and kissed and rubbed our hips
Spent time like they'd stop making it
When we started making plans
We wound up making out and holding hands
Music was shared
And love declared
On rainy streets
With sewing machines
From a cannon you're shot
From a cannon you fly
You fly through the air
Goofball in flight
And it's so good
It's so good
Look Out!
We drove to Kiawah from Boston
And our meatballs wound up sauceless
We biked and drank our barley
Found we fit anatomically
You said you would in Ojai
That this knot would never untie
With Lucy as our chaperone
Streets in Texas still unknown
For you and I
We are content
Time in love
Is time well spent
From a canon we're shot
From a canon we fly
Fly through the air
Goofballs in flight
And it's so good
It's so good
It's so good

Your mind is unique
Your beauty more than skin-deep
Even when I'm facing Mecca
Nothing rhymes with Rebecca
You give my heart a thrill
My brain is stuck until
I'll write an operetta
Nothing rhymes with Rebecca
Re-bec-ca
Have to find another name for you
Re-bec-ca
Have to find another name for you
I pull out all the stops
To make a go at all these blocks
Look at the Stone Rosetta
Nothing rhymes with Rebecca
At last I found the key
And hope that she'll agree
The girl that's named Rebecca
Rebecca rhymes with me
Re-bec-ca
Don't have to find another name for you
Re-bec-ca
Don't have to find another name for you
Try this!
A singular girl
Definitively true
With a special page
In the Thomas Guide
Just for you
Through Compton I drive
Drive just to see you
The bullets I try
Not to bump into
The next time I betta
Pack my Beretta
'Cuz nothing in this town
Rhymes with Rebecca
Re-bec-ca

Let's get settled in
So we can start to wear this out
You're not the girl for me
But you're just the right amount
There's no method, it's just madness
And it's bound to end in sadness
Professor Jean
Are there two grades I'm in between
You make me feel like I'm the Dean
Are there two grades I'm in between
Professor Jean
I won't get too attached
But you won't let me far away
I like our space apart
But you want me to stay
I need a method to end this madness
When I'm gone I will feel gladness
Professor Jean
Let's turn this D into a C
If my pencil isn't number 2
I know you'll give me one to use
Brand new girl for me
Now this one's just the thing
She's got fiery hair
And she makes me want to sing
I'm her method, she's my madness
Extra Credit? Or just practice
Professor Jean
Let's turn this C into a B
The chalk dust covers everything
So you can't see and I can't think
I don't belong here, I can't stay
In detention every day
Professor Jean
Are there two grades I'm in between?
