Saskia Hamilton
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've only ever seen her name on a spine
But that's enough, I want to make her mine
Never heard her voice, never seen her smile
But I'm in love with saskia hamilton.
Well she's a poet, just like I want to be
But her passport alone is great poetry
And I'm in love with saskia hamilton.
She got more assonance than she knows what to do with
I'm in love with saskia hamilton
She got two sibilants, no bilabial plosives
Saskia hamilton, saskia hamilton! Reah! right!
Saskia hamilton, saskia hamilton.
Saskia, saskia, saskia
Already got a girl but she sounds real bad
I'm in love with saskia hamilton
She got alliteration and her surname is dagg
Saskia hamilton
No hard consonants in my girl saskia
Every single syllable sounds like shakespeare
I'm in love with saskia
Gonna live with her and it'll all be harmonious
How could it not be, when she's that euphonious?
Gonna marry her and it'll be idyllic
And my teacher just told me that she's dactylic!
Saskia hamilton, saskia hamilton! Reah! right!
Saskia hamilton, saskia hamilton.
Saskia, saskia, saskia
