Lyrics

Popsicle Toes
Michael Franks

And when god gave out rhythm he sure was good to you.
You can add, subtract, multiple and divide by two.
I know today’s your birthday but I did not buy no rose.
But, I wrote this song instead and I call it popsicle toes.

Popsicle toes.
Popsicle toes I always froze.
Popsicle toes,
You’re so brave to expose all those popsicle toes.

You must have been Miss Pennsylvania,
And all this pulchritude.
How come you always load your Pentax,
when I’m in the nude.
We ought have a birthday party,
And we can wear our birthday clothes.
Then we can hit the floor,
And go explore those popsicle toes.

Popsicle toes.
Popsicle toes I always froze.
Popsicle toes,
You’re so brave to expose all those popsicle toes.

You got the nicest North America this sailor ever saw.
I’d like to fell your warm Brazil and touch your Panama.
But your Tierra del Fuego I near always froze.
We’ve got to seesaw ’til we under thaw those popsicle toes.

Popsicle toes.
Popsicle toes I always froze.
Popsicle toes,
You’re so brave to expose all those popsicle toes.
