Lyrics
I am
The only one
Can ride that horse
Th'yonder

I'm full of bees
Who died at sea

It's a wonderful life
It's a wonderful life

I wore
A rooster's blood
When it flew
Like doves
I'm a bog
Of poisoned frogs

It's a wonderful life
It's a wonderful life

I'm the dog that ate
Your birthday cake

It's a wonderful life
It's a wonderful life
It's a wonderful life
