Lyrics

Battle Earth

It wasn't quite day and it wasn't quite night

The sun and the moon were both in sight

The situation quite alright with everyone else but them

There really is something about you

There really is something about you

So they both made remarks about who gave more light

Who is the brightest and prettiest sight

The sun gave a bump and the moon gave light

The terrible sky fight began

There really is something about you

There really is something about you

A scorch and a sizzle and a screech and a shout

Across the great heavens, they turned it about

The moonlight appears and the sun in its mouth

The sunburned face ?

There really is something about you, there really is

There really is something about you

And when it was over, the moon was ?

The sun had a very bad lump on its head

And all the next night, the moon stayed home in bed

And the sun didn't come out till noon

There really is something about you

There really is something about you

There really is something about you

There really is something about you
