Ladybird Ladybird Ladybird

Watch me front crawl through my cranium!

Ladybird Ladybird Ladybird

My epidermis so purpureous

My palpebra puckered, my nose scrunched at my septum

Got too many teeth, but I'm happy despite my hyperdontia

Got a singularity instead of an esophagus

Does that disturb you?

Why're you disturbed?

Donkeys do it

Dolphins do it

Apes do it

Aren't you an ape?

I'm not your orangutan, let's do it together

LET'S GET LOUD!

LET IT ALL OUT TOGETHER

GOT TOO MANY TEETH, BUT I DON'T BITE WITH ANY OF THEM

COME ON, FRONT CRAWL THROUGH YOUR CRANIUM WITH ME

PUCKER YOUR PALPEBRA, SCRUNCH YOUR NOSE AT YOUR SEPTUM; THAT'S YOUR SINGULARITY, NOT YOUR ESOPHAGUS

BE HAPPY! BE HAPPY! BE HAPPY!
