Of Montreal – Natalie and Effie in the Park

Sundays were made for strolls through the park

though before today she’d always gone alone

Now the sun shines down all around them

cause Natalie’s not alone she’s not alone

On Friday she’d bought a Yorkshire terrier

and instantly found a true friend of her own

Now they sing and skip through the flowers

cause Natalie’s not alone she’s not alone

She named him Effie

Effie was his name despite a bladder problem

she loved him just the same

She takes him nearly every where she goes

he delights her with the many tricks he knows

Now the sun shines down all around them

cause Natalie’s not alone

She knits him sweaters and woolen Winter hats

from the window she watches him chase the neighbors cats

And laughs and laughs
