about

I named this song after two things, the British tradition of taking tea breaks, and a lake in Minnesota where I spent lots of time listening to jukebox music, catching turtles, and accidentally creating fireballs. But the song isn't about any of that stuff.

lyrics

hmm hmm hmm hmm
Welcome to the orange juice
Weclome to the octopus city!
Do you have a clue, where
The mouse remote control is?
Why do you have to jump into the water?
Why do you have to jump into the jello?
Do you wear your hat normally on Tuesday?
Are those shorts in the corner?
Ready for the basketball?
Fire hydrant! Fire hydrant
Fire hydrant, yeah yeah.
Polar bear!
Do you have change for a notebook?
Trashcan.
Pair of socks.
Batteries.
Do you have a lightbulb in your car?
Why did the wire jump up and kick
The soda can?
The soda can?
The soda can.
