These Bodies That Came To Cavort - Jonathan Richman

These bodies that came to cavort

These bodies that came to contort

These bodies that we don’t listen to anyway

Came to move with the times

Came to play outside

These bodies that we make sit down all day

These bodies, they don’t want all the wine

We give them

They try to warn us off

But we won’t listen

Okay, so let’s start them up

They’re ready to run and jump

These bodies, they came to dance for a day

These bodies that we don’t listen to anyway

These bodies that came to cavort

These bodies that came to contort

These bodies we make stay still all day

They wanna play outside

Move with the moon and tide

These bodies that we don’t listen to anyway

They’re so mysterious and so

We fear them

They try to warn us

But we can’t hear them

Okay, so let’s start them up

They’re ready to do their stuff

These bodies, they came to dance for a day

These bodies that we don’t listen to anyway
