Butterflies and Puppy Dogs
Tune: The Hot Asphalt

Butterflies and puppy dogs, hummingbirds and whales
Roly-poly kittens playing with their mothers’ tails.
Think of sweet and lovely things, don’t focus on the sad
It’s your negativity that makes you feel so bad.

We’ll go on a vision quest because all agree
Everyone on earth creates their own reality.
We all choose our parents, we’re evolving towards the light
We were very clever choosing parents who were white.

If a sheriff stops us while we’re driving to the mall
We can rest assured he won’t do anything at all.
We don’t have to worry that our children will get shot
If they walk too fast across a Target parking lot.

        If you’re plucking chicken butts or packing pickled pork,
        If you’re stacking bodies on a playground in New York,
        If La Migra busted you and took your kids and wife
        It’s because of something you did in a former life.

Think of sweet and lovely things, don’t focus on the sad
It’s your negativity that makes you feel so bad.
Undulating octopuses, cute beluga whales
Jolly ginger kittens pouncing on their mothers tails.
