lyrics

To cut a long story short, they said this armadillo could never sing
Yeah, the crickets and the frogs and the canaries laughed when they heard about the thing
That I dreamed of, that someday while the summer was green
You would hear me crooning and still want to be seen
I just want to sing to you and tell you how I want to commit
and I say
ooooh someday baby

So I walked into the clinic to talk to the local medic about my concern
He said I'd fix it for you but listen armadillo there's one thing that you should learn
That someday you'll regret the things you ask, but there'll be no refund once this deed comes to pass
You want to sing then you gotta learn to commit
and I say
ooooh someday baby

So he plunged the knife in at my insistence, pulled my flesh out by the path of least resistance
Strung out my guts and tuned them across my shell 
Plucked a melody so sweet that all the wildlife in the pond
Sounded hoarse and coarse when they tried to sing along
Because there comes I time in life when you just got to commit
And I say oooh, someday baby
