Squash   by Li Yu Yuan 黎裕元

Lyrics modeled on The goo goo dolls’ song “Smash”

The original words

Hey

Why are you frowning

I want to stretch your face

Wait

Now you’re giving up

Gaining anymore pounds

Every time I see you

Lying on the scale

You’re thin

You’re thin that can’t break it down

Squash

I know you’re sighing

Seven times this year

Slash

‘Cause now you’re trying’

Getting through these pangs

Every time I see you

Bulking up yourself

I delight

I delight that you become round

Every time I see you

Laughing ear to ear

I know

I know you can make me proud

I see you’re standing in the yard right now

You’re getting big, reddish, and mature enough

I can’t wait to make you a lamp right now

Squash

You’re a pumpkin

Squash

You’re my daring

Squash

You’re Halloween

Right now
