A Modest Proposal (For Laura Cantrell)
It's true that I get crushes on girl musicians
And it's true that it happens quite a lot
And it's true that I don't care what you look like
It's your talent that makes you hot
Laura Cantrell
Will you marry me?
Laura Cantrell
Your voice is so pretty
I think you're swell
And I think we were born to be
The only couple
Living happily
I used to like Liz Phair
But then she got poppy
I used to like Juliana Hatfield
But she was way too angsty
I used to like Meg White
But she plays drums
And now I like you
Even though you don't write all of your own songs
Laura Cantrell
Will you marry me?
Laura Cantrell
Your voice is so pretty
I think you're swell
And I think we were born to be
The only couple
Living happily
Maybe I could write you a song to sing
But not this one, that wouldn't be right
'Cause you can't go around, singing love songs to yourself
And if you could, what would the world be like?
It would sort of be like
Elastic No-No Band
Will you marry us?
Elastic No-No Band
Your voice is so pretty
See, it doesn't really work
I think that's plain to see
So you know and I know
Just how it has to be, be
Laura Cantrell
Will you marry me?
Laura Cantrell
Your voice is so pretty
I think you're swell
And I think we were born to be
The only couple
Living happily
And it's true that it happens quite a lot
And it's true that I don't care what you look like
It's your talent that makes you hot
Laura Cantrell
Will you marry me?
Laura Cantrell
Your voice is so pretty
I think you're swell
And I think we were born to be
The only couple
Living happily
I used to like Liz Phair

I used to like Meg White
