Alifib Lyrics

Alife, Alife, Alife, Alife...
(repeated continuously)

No nit not
Nit no not
Nit nit folly bololey
Alife my larder
Alife my larder

I can't forsake you
Or forsqueak you
Alife my larder
Alife my larder
Confiscate
Or make you late you, you
Alife my larder
Alife my larder

Not nit not
Nit no not
Nit nit folly bololey

Burlybunch, the water mole
Hellyplop and fingerhole
Not a wossit, bundy, see
For jangle and bojangle
Trip trip pip pippy pippy pip pip landerim
Alife my larder
Alife my larder

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
