Lyrics How to Make a Baby Elephant Float - Yo La Tengo

How to Make a Baby Elephant Float

I like to hold hands when we walk
I’m not averse to pillow talk
But I prefer a private joke, the memory it evokes
Because it’s our punchline, it’s our punchline
That film we saw from the front row
It means so much to us alone
I love the wrinkled brow of anyone else around
Because it’s our punchline, it’s our punchline
And when we’re out then you say «it would appear»
We laugh and laugh, no one else hears, no one at all
And when we’re out then you say «it would appear»
We laugh and laugh, no one else hears, no one at all
If you want to be a romantic fool
You don’t have to say I love you
Just say what’s in your heart, non-sequitir or not
And without even trying, find your punchline, find your punchline
