Calico Lyrics

[The "Calico" bits are Sarah and the rest is Q-Tee.] 

Dreamin' / that you are in my world, / 

wishin' / like a little girl. / 

Watchin', / closely, / you suddenly appear. / 

Like a dream, / you're gone, then you're here. / 

You take to emotion / like a bird to flight. / 

You drop an invitation, / maybe I just might / 

be your lover / or better / a friendly / aquaintance. / 

Truly as I duly pay my love to you like maintenance. / 


Calico, / Calico, / Calico, / Calico. / 

Calico, / Calico, / Calico, / Calico. / 


You're realistic, / your face conceal. / 

Accentuate the passion. / I will reveal. / 

You're like an angel that delights with the day. / 

I'm pleadin' / don't ever go away, / 

story's reaching peak / the outlook is bleak. / 

Please talk, say that you'll speak. / You're strong and I am weak. / 

I need / the fortune at the end of the rainbow. / 

I see you like a lantern - / you have a certain glow. / Calico. / 

Your smile is warm soft, / forever / appealing. / 

Whenever you are present like a letter I am sealing. / 

My love / like a dove / that blesses from above. / 

The shower in an hour / won't you let me be your towel? / Calico. / 

Affection / affects you like a weapon. / 

You're extreme and supreme / and nothing that you seem. / 

A fateful chance / with a twist of hope. / 

I'll be with you all the way / down the magical slope. 


Calico, / Calico, / Calico, / Calico. / 

Calico, / Calico, / Calico, / Calico. / 

Calico, / Calico, / Calico, / Calico. / 


Babe, don't be afraid, / I'm wit' you everywhere. / 

Gliding through enchanted waters / to you I swear. / 

Expression is the key, / it's good enough for me. / 

Cali can't you see, / forever yours? / 

There's a feeling / of warmth, / a serious / sensation. / 

It's true, / you have that / good vibration. 

Your charm is overwhelming, you have reaches that I seldom see, / 

Calico just let me be the one! / 


Calico, / Calico, / Calico, / Calico. / 

Calico, / Calico, / Calico, / Calico. / 

Calico, / Calico, / Calico, / Calico. / 

Calico, / Calico, / Calico, / Calico. / 


Calico. / I see / that we were meant to be. / 

Goin' in ??? 


[outro samples:]

I never take of my hat except when I'm out of doors!

She made a prize from Jenkins' ear, / and washed it down with a bottle of beer.
