In the Drink Lyrics

[Chorus]
I'm in the drink for love
And want to drink your love
Swimmin' a swim in the suds
I want to drink your blood

[Verse 1]
Up like a rocket, down like the rain
Back and forth like a choo-choo train
I have a secret that just won't keep
All I wanna do is brush your teeth
Butterfly kisses
And the taste of delicious
I'd like to sip the sap from your tree
And the honey in the tea
Dripping amber drips
Patiently

[Chorus]
I'm in the drink for love
And want to drink your love
Squishin' toes in the mud
I want to drink your blood

[Verse 2]
Caught a snowflake on my tongue
A feathery crystal in the flavour of gum
Dropping clouds fallin' fast
Are you going to try some while they last?
Once the birds have migrated
Come Spring twitterpated
Up the river, I journey on
Cause this salmon is ready to spawn
If you have some swimming lessons
It would make it easier
[Chorus]
I'm in the drink for love
And want to drink your love
Squishin' toes in the mud
I want to drink your blood

  • 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 [?]
