[verse]
E A G#m F#m
I’m like a snowball in the sun
B A E
You make me feel so good inside
A G#m F#m
I’m like a raincoat in the rain
B A E
You are the sugar and the spice
A G#m F#m
If this is love we fit right in
B A E
We’re lookin’ good in every light
[chorus]
F#m G#m
I’m in the water, won’t you teach me how to swim
C#m B A
I know a shortcut to the shore
F#m G#m
I hear the music and the drummers name is Tim
A B
He plays the snare on two and four
[verse]
E A G#m F#m
I’m like an icecube in the fridge
B A E
I just can’t wait to cool your drink
A G#m F#m
I’m like a mango on a peachtree
B A E
You are the summer to my spring
A G#m F#m
If this is love we fit right in
B A E
You play the queen, I’ll be your king
[chorus]
I’m in the water, let me get back on the boat
I know a shortcut to the shore
I hear the music and the singers name is Toad
He claps his hands on two and four
[solo]

I’m like a penguin on the bayou
I might as well be floatin’ in space
I’m like a clown without his make-up
You put the smile back onto my face

It makes no sense in any ole way!
