Lyrics These Bodies That Came To Cavort - Jonathan Richman

These Bodies That Came To Cavort

These bodies that came to cavort
These bodies that came to contort
These bodies that we don’t listen to anyway
Came to move with the times
Came to play outside
These bodies that we make sit down all day
These bodies, they don’t want all the wine
We give them
They try to warn us off
But we won’t listen
Okay, so let’s start them up
They’re ready to run and jump
These bodies, they came to dance for a day
These bodies that we don’t listen to anyway
These bodies that came to cavort
These bodies that came to contort
These bodies we make stay still all day
They wanna play outside
Move with the moon and tide
These bodies that we don’t listen to anyway
They’re so mysterious and so
We fear them
They try to warn us
But we can’t hear them
Okay, so let’s start them up
They’re ready to do their stuff
These bodies, they came to dance for a day
These bodies that we don’t listen to anyway
