Liza Lee: Hear

Cornflake Girl

(Liza Lee, Bruce Barth, Pat O'Leary, Michael Petrosino)
Tori Amos
This song was actually added to "Scarlet Mark" at the last minute. We were going to do another standard jazz tune but, I was having so much fun with the modern songs that I gave a copy of "Cornflake" to Bruce and he came up with this great arrangement of the tune. (Thank you Bruce!) I am very happy that we did this song because it turned out to be one of my favorites on the CD! I am a raisin girl!
Never was a cornflake girl
Thought that was a good solution
Hanging with the raisin girls
She's gone to the other side
Givin' us a yo heave ho
Things are getting kind of gross
And I go at sleepy time
This is not really
This is not really happening

You bet your life it is
You bet your life it is
Oh you bet your life
It's a peel out the watchword
Just peel out the watchword

She knows what's going on
Seems we got a cheaper feel now
All the sweet tease are gone
Gone to the other side
With my encyclopedia
They must have paid her a nice price
She's putting on her string bean love
This is not really
This is not really happening

You bet your life it is
You bet your life it is
Oh you bet your life
It's a peel out the watchword
Just peel out the watchword

Rabbit where'd you put the keys girl?
