They say you’re one of our super learners.
That explains my purple glow.
But if you put me on the back burner,
I'll know and I’ll let you know!
| Chorus: |
Oh, the owl has a thousand tongues, And a thousand tongues can’t help but nag If your ascent should flag. So remember when you’re proud You’re done with one rung That the owl has a thousand tongues |
You say my picture’s up on your home screen.
It’s been two days. You never tap.
You’re having fun somewhere in your own scene.
No doubt with some other app.
(Chorus)
Skip one more day, you’re gonna be sorry.
That’s the game we play each week.
My eyes get tearful rather than starry.
Shame if you broke that nice streak
(Chorus)
| Chorus: |
So remember when you’re proud You’re done with one rung That the owl has a thousand tongues |
