Going Downhill Fast Lyrics

    One butterfly
    Spies a glint in his eye,
    Birds sing as he cycles by.
    Oh! why should he feel sad?
    This world's not so bad, and besides,
    Woe betide he who would frown
    When natural beauty abounds.
    And now with wheels spinning free
    He's picking up speed.

    Two butterflies
    Tie knots in his stomach,
    They love it when he goes too fast.
    Wind whistles past,
    Whilst oceans of air
    That will mess up his hair,
    Though he no longer cares any more
    For overindulgence and vanity,
    Vacuous vice!
    Just once or twice,
    Thrice,
    Four times in five we forget we're alive
    And neglect to remind ourselves.

    Three butterflies
    Realise when it's time to depart,
    They have tickled his ribs
    They have fluttered his heart,
    But the starting is easy compared to the stop
    And the bottom is hard when compared to the top.

    Oh la la la la la etc...
