Yo La Tengo: "How To Make A Baby Elephant Float" Lyrics

I like to hold hands when we walk

I'm not averse to pillow talk

But I prefer a private joke

The memory it evokes

Because it's our punch line 

That film we saw from the front row

It means so much to us alone

I love the wrinkled brow

Of anyone else around

Because it's our punch line

And when we're out and you say

"It would appear"

We love and laugh no one else hears

No one at all

And when we're out then we say

"It would appear"

We laugh and laugh no one else hears

No one at all

If you want to be a romantic fool

You don't have to say I love you

Just say what's in your heart

Non-sequiter or not

And without even trying

Find your punch line
