Lyrics Yo La Tengo

Yo La Tengo

How to Make a Baby Elephant Float

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 punchline, it's our punchline

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 punchline, it's our punchline

And when we're out

Then you say "it would appear"

We laugh and laugh

No one else hears, no one at all

And when we're out

Then you 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-sequitir or not

And without even trying, find your punchline, find your punchline
