39 Pink Flamingos Songtext
von Craig Carothers

She′s got 39 pink flamingos
In her back yard
And an orange polyethylene Buddha
On the top of her car
Tattoos of Lennon, and Santa
And one of Jay Z
She's not making or breaking the rules
She′s just free

And there are 39 pink flamingos
In her garden plot
Her favorite Beatle was Ringo
She thought he was hot
And she wears Christmas sweaters in August
But she never sweats
It's not her way to complain
Or dwell on regrets


It's just 28 days since I met her
And I wish it could go on forever
I love everything that she does
I was powerless to resist her
Part sorceress and part little sister
But really I fell just because...

Of those 39 pink flamingos
And there are bound to be more
Cuz everything funky or kitschy
Is what she adores
She′s hooked on quinoa and Kretek
Not so much to forgive
Cuz the usual rules don′t apply
With just six months to live

And her joie de vivre never unraveled
Even while losing the battle
She was funny and fearless and strong
I've never known anyone like her
Part librarian and part mini-biker
And I′m different since she came along...


With her 39 pink flamingos
Now in my front yard
And that orange polyethylene Buddha
In the trunk of my car
I've got a picture of her kissing Santa
And one by the sea
And we take it one day at a time
The Buddha and all 39
Flamingos and me

39 pink flamingos
39 pink flamingos
