[01:15.11] By smirking prank of fate
[01:23.48] We find ourselves dancing late
[01:28.23] Like young reprobates
[01:31.92] By the milky light of the mighty moon
[01:40.13] Find someone to nuzzle to
[01:45.97] And waltz from the room
[01:49.27] We're all quiffed and cropped
[01:57.20] This is our lot
[02:02.11] We hold each other up heavy with hops
[02:27.52] By smirking prank of fate
[02:34.69] We wiggle and kick like bobbing bait
[02:40.85] And wait for a bite
[02:44.13] By the milky light of the mighty moon
[02:52.82] Find someone to nuzzle to
[02:58.36] And waltz from the room
[03:01.91] We're all quiffed and cropped
[03:09.59] This is our lot
[03:14.59] We hold each other up heavy with hops
[03:22.12] My darling
[03:24.41] My dumpling
[03:27.01] My plump heart a-thumping
[03:30.84] Begging you to come to me
[03:36.49] I couldn't be more ready
[03:38.98] I couldn't be more ready
[03:40.92] A glottal stop
[03:42.62] Bottled up
[03:43.82] Waiting for the penny drop
[04:03.39] We're all quiffed and cropped
[04:10.67] This is our lot
[04:15.81] We hold each other up heavy with hops
