Loading...

[lou reed, ]

[intro]
“b+ttercup song”
words and music, lou reed

[chorus]

[verse 1]
well i’ve got this friend, and + i’ll tell ya, man + he’s real hip
an anthropologite, baby, that is his business
but never once + wooh! + does he ever blow his cool
because he always follows this wondrous golden rule
oh! oh, oh, oh +

[chorus]

[verse 2]
but he is a lion, of course he got hung up
on an androgynous small b+ttercup
of stagnates and pistillate flowers, did he
which happens, by the way, when you get involved, emotionally, so +

[chorus]

wooh! +

[verse 3]
oh, you should have seen it!
oh, my god, what a sight!
a fully+grown man writing poems at night
to the silly old flower blooming in the night air
as alliteration blossomed, off in his chair
to which i came attached one dusk evening
when i sat in our park, some stuffing in spring
and déjà vu! my friend turned in dismay
and then, thank god, i heard him once more say + oh!
[chorus]

[verse 4]
well, then it happened
well, i am sad to relay
while he’s eating spaghettio’s, this girl’s + uh, chinese plate
he drooled and he slobbered over the design
as down in his mouth dribbled three+month+old port wine
nineteen dollars a quart, gift from his mother + oh!

[chorus]

[verse 5]
it seems those who tell you what to do
have already done it, before they do
but it don’t even matter + uh, if’n it’s true
because you know + d+mn well, you know
you’re gonna do the same thing, too
[chorus]

oh! +

[outro]
get close to the mic
