"Clonie" lyrics - NELLIE MCKAY

NELLIE MCKAY
"Clonie"

My, oh, my, walkin' by;
Who's the apple of my eye?
Why, it's my very own Clonie...

Oh, if I should stroll the 'hood,
Who knew I could look so good
Just talkin' on the phone to Clonie?

We are pals, it's cool 'cause we're not lonely;
Shallow gene pool - There's nothing to my only Clonie...

Me and you, hustlin' through, holdin' on through thick and thin;
Just day by day, our DNA, 'cause the Olsen twins got nothin' on us...

We'll survive, side by side...
Mother Nature, don't you call her phony - She's my Clonie...

Was wealthy, but not healthy,
Had no one to dwell with me,
So look who I got born - Clonie...

Far from broke, bored rich folk,
We don't need no natural yolk;
Our babies come full formed - Clonie...

We'll be huggable, get a publicist and show them;
Be the most lovable thing since fucking Eminem - Oh, my friend...

Multiply, we're a franchise, like Walt Disney or Hannibal Lechter;
We can tell our cancer cells are more benign than old Phil Spector...
We'll survive, side by side...
Should have signed with Verve instead of Sony - You're my Clonie...

Oh, Clonie, how I love you.
Ha! I'm the only person I ever loved!
Gee, that's swell!
I guess you're just my fatal attractionie - You're my Clonie...
