Would That Not Be Nice

At night I wonder,
how do I swing this?
I'm gonna be up for a long while
'Cause I've got to know it, know it tonight.
'Cause if I did,
would that not be nice?
I wish that I was in Minneapolis
Like Barbarita, we lay lines fat
And share a feelin' under the moonlight
And come to think it,
would that not be nice?
There's Cleopatra up on her throne
Come Cleopatra, come come back home
I'll be here waiting with basmati rice
Can you tell me now
Would that not be nice?
You're so destructive, alien and deranged
Sometimes I wish that
You were just strange
I must admit it
That sounds alright
And if you were,
would that not be nice?
You got a gothic candleabra from California
and if you light it you set the room up
with flickering lights
And if you did,
would that not be nice?
Would that not be nice?
