Lizzy Hilliard - Alexander Lyrics

Alexander, let's meander
Through a far and distant land, or
Lallygag in someone's yard
Leave a note in someone's car
Don't tell me yes, don't tell me no
Don't say we'll see or maybe so
Just tell me what I want to know
"What they say" has got to go
Alexander salamander
Follow by my guiding hand, or
Tell me what you want to do
When you might not make it through
Don't tell my why, don't tell me how
Don't say it's elephant or cow
Just tell me if you're here right now
"What they say" I won't allow
Alexander, monkeymander
Though we are but grains of sand or
Tiny freckles on God's arm
He won't do ya any harm
Don't tell me here, don't tell me there
Don't say you're gonna cut your hair
Just tell me if you'd like to share
"What they say" is just not fair
Alexander, who is grander
Who is gonna take a stand or
Open eyes to what's all wrong
Open hearts to a new song
Don't tell me if, don't tell me cause
Don't say it's either one of us
Just tell me when you hear the bus
"What they say" is too much fuss
Alexander, eyes of candor
Mouth that's full of contraband, or
Maybe something super sweet, but
Mostly things that I won't eat
Don't tell me order, don't tell me law
Don't say hee hee hee, hon hon hon
Just tell me why the birdies caw
"What they say" is not at all
Alexander salamander
We can tell when lines are canned, or
When you make it up and say
Everything is all okay, oh
Alexander, monkeymander
Lift those arms, let's start the band or
We can't make it, through and through
No, we can't make it without you
