lyrics

Ooh, my Adeline, ooh

Down in Tasmania
Where the devil's jaws are far too weak
To tear you away

Ooh, I wish you well
I wish you well

Ooh, my Adeline
I watch your morning swim again
Ooh, Kodachrome blue sky
Strokes from patch to warm patch
My sweet Adeline

Ooh, I wish you well (My Adeline)
I wish you well

And the old triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the Royal Canal

My Adeline was swimming
Sweet Adeline was singing
To the tune of the Royal Canal

[Oh, scandinavia
Where the metal is far too unkind
to be atomized

Moon always makes you cry
hoax, the hatch of relapse
to my hallowed eyes

And glial right angles form kindled bangles
Along that roaring Canal

Those shallow isles be swimming
Sweet satellites are singing
For the moon and the wholly banal]

She's a swim, swimmer
Swimmer, swimmer
Swim, swimmer
Swimmer, swimmer

I wish her well (My Adeline)

[don’t just stare slack-jawed at those blurry lines]
