How to Make a Baby Elephant Float Lyrics

How to Make a Baby Elephant Float - Yo La Tengo

Written by:Ira Kaplan/Georgia Hubley

I like to hold hands when we walk

 

I'm not averse to pillow talk

 

But I prefer a private joke

 

The memory it evokes

 

Because it's our punch line

 

It's our punch line

 

That film we saw from the front row

 

It means so much to us alone

 

I love the wrinkled brow

 

Of anyone else around

 

Because it's our punch line

 

It's our punch line

 

And when we're out and you say

 

It would appear

 

We love and laugh no one else hears

 

No one at all

 

At all at all

At all at all

 

And when we're out then we say

 

It would appear

 

We laugh and laugh no one else hears

 

No one at all

At all at all

At all at all

If you want to be a romantic fool

 

You don't have to say I love you

 

Just say what's in your heart

 

Non Sequiter or not

 

And without even trying

 

Find your punch line

 

 

Find your punch line
