Lyrics

Alec Eiffel

Pioneer of aerodynamics (Little Eiffel, Little Eiffel) They thought he was real smart Alec (Little Eiffel, Little Eiffel) He thought big they called it a phallic (Little Eiffel, Little Eiffel) They didn't know he was panoramic Little Eiffel stands in the archway (Little Eiffel, Little Eiffel) Keeping low doesn't make no sense Sometimes people can be oh so dense They didn't want it but he built it anyway (Little Eiffel, Little Eiffel) Little Eiffel stands in the archway (Little Eiffel, Little Eiffel) Keeping low don't make sense Keeping low doesn't make no-sense (Little Eiffel, Little Eiffel) Little Eiffel stands in the archway Oh Alexander I see you beneath The archway of aerodynamics
