Lyrics

The Pool

[Intro]

Allday

We at the pool, we at the pool

Uh, we at the pool

[Chorus]

So tell me, why would I wanna go home?

I wanna stay here where the time goes slow

So slow down, so slow down

And it's cool as long as you don't drown

[Verse 1]

So here we are living, but we can't help science

So don't be scared, Goosebumps, R. L. Stine

So goaty-arse spitted all my heartfelt rhymes

But I'd rather be skinny than have a dumbbell mind

And besides, I'm really not the tightest swimmer

I would get CPR, though revive me, Kimbra

Now it's gonna be awkward when I'm finally a winner

She can meet me at the ARIAs and buy me dinner

Sign and sing about, bathers we wring 'em out

Watch them swim around the pool 'til I nearly drown

Are you serious? Vanilla Galliano

I'm a serial killer so I hope you carry guns, bro

I'm your super soakers, the girl is worldwide

See, every night, it's a party full of headlights

We know how to have fun, even when I'm being slow

We live in a lucky country, we have never seen snow

[Chorus]

So tell me, why would I wanna go home?

I wanna stay here where the time goes slow

So slow down, so slow down

And it's cool as long as you don't drown

[Verse 2]

So here we are poolside, feeling just mighty fine

Feeling all types of good because of my Pisces sign

Just trying to find my footing up on the diving board

I don't jump, I just walk the plank like a pirate would

Why should I try to stop?

Yeah, I would die before I give up this life

You see, I'd rather be high and probably light a puff cannabis

Where young Pamelas, they call me Tommy Lee

Among other comparisons

Walking unbalanced, we a bunch of young savages

Drunk gallons in the sun 'til we relic some radishes

We're in for summer and calendars, time flies

If I'm a pussy, that is fine, I have nine lives

If I'm a rookie, then I'm Shaq in '92

Taking it to Patrick Ewing, I'm a Magic kind of dude

The car's desolated and the pool's chlorinated

The time's getting wasted 'cause we all holidaying

[Chorus]

So tell me, why would I wanna go home?

I wanna stay here where the time goes slow

So slow down, so slow down

And it's cool as long as you don't drown

So tell me, why would I wanna go home?

I wanna stay here where the time goes slow

So slow down, so slow down

And it's cool as long as you don't drown
