Little Joanna's like a lazerbeam sky.
Gluteos Maximus like a firefly
And That's why I'm a kissaphobic
Where cellulite dreams were made, like lemonade,
But when the shivers are salty and sea foam's the colour of space.

She will always be my sunkissed trampoline,
She goes up and down in my heart,
Turned into jelly beans
And i'm starting to believe that danger's never near,

Knowing that I'm near
