When I forgot the sunshine
When colour had all fled
When grey became the master
And life made way for dead

When joyful days had vanished
And happy times were gone
When I forgot the sunshine
That's when things went wrong

When I look for the sunshine
I wander far and wide
Some say they found a method
I'm certain they had lied

When days sweep by like seconds
And time's as lost as me
When I look for the sunshine
It's only dark I see

And when I find the sunshine
And feel the warmth's embrace
I'll shatter all these shackles
And end my inner race

With joyful days returning
And problems feeling few
Yes, when I find that sunshine
Then I'll start anew

Giant squid
Run away
Live to fight another day

Tiny horse
Stay a while
Maybe give you crocodile

Giant squid
Run away from giant squid

He got fid
Pushing mid
Teammates blew respective lids
likely only makes a lick of sense if you've ever played a MOBA

Flipped through my comic
And there I eyed
Free ride on the batman slide
Got so pumped I nearly cried
Got so pumped I nearly cried

Took my ticket
Drove to the fair
Let the wind breeze through my hair
Kind of cold but I don't care
Kind of cold but I don't care

There it was
Past flume log
Was it worth this sudden slog?
Chomping on my chili dog
Chomping on my chili dog

Gave the ticket
Crawled on in
Beaming with a goofy grin
Taking this ride for a spin
Taking this ride for a spin

I slid down
Then I barfed!
Losing all my debonair
Chili splattered everywhere
Chili splattered everywhere

Off to ride
Carousel
Handyman would come with broom
Walking past the scary flume
Walking past the scary flume

Running goat
Runs so fast
Speedy goat is kicky ***

Finish first
Win the race
Goat won't gloat for rapid pace

Singing pig
Hear him sing
All the joy the singing brings

Gather round
Hear him go
It's a crazy farmland show

Talking frog
Talking frog
Hops through swamp and lives in log

Dirt so soft
Moss like fur
Fancy froggy furniture
