Zebra Lyrics - The Magnetic Fields

So we got married in Venice in June, so what? 

We circled the earth in a hot air balloon, so what? 

And the rest of our lives 

Is one long honeymoon 

Well, that doesn't mean we're in love 

If you really loved me 

You'd buy me a beautiful pearl 

But you've already bought me 

All of the pearls in the world 

So there's one thing I crave 

When my days become ho-hum and blah 

I want a zebra 

We've got so many tchotchkes 

We've practically emptied the Louvre 

In most of our palaces 

There's hardly room to manoeuvre 

Well I shan't go to Bali today 

I must stay home and hoovre 

Up the gold dust 

That doesn't mean we're in love 

If you really loved me 

You'd buy me the Great Pyramid 

Oh, I'm so forgetful, you already did 

But there's one think I need 

If you won't think I'm greedy, my dear 

Another zebra 

Zelda looks lonely, I want a zebra
