lyrics

the book of love is long and boring
no one can lift the damn thing
it's full of charts and facts and figures
and instructions for dancing
but i, i love it when you read to me
and you, you can read me anything

the book of love has music in it
in fact that's where music comes from
some of it is just transcendental
some of it is just really dumb
but i, i love it when you sing to me
and you, you can sing me anything

the book of love is long and boring
and written very long ago
it's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
and things we're all too young to know
but i, i love it when you give me things
and you, you ought to give me wedding rings
i, i love it when you give me things
and you, you ought to give me wedding rings

Ozma + chiptunes couldn't be a more perfect combination. In fact, the only thing I'm slightly upset about is the fact that they beat me to my idea to do a chiptune album of my own music! 10/10 The Stan Laurels
