Miniature Sidewalk Whirlwind
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.
Trying to avoid
Being hit in the leg
By the bag that is going
Around and around
In the miniature sidewalk whirlwind
But the crumpled-up bag
Moves exactly as fast
As the speed at which you walk
To avoid being hit in the leg
Aaaah
To the amusement of others
You are hit in the leg
By the bag
And as soon as it touches your leg
It's completely attached
Trying to pull off the bag while still casually walking
Only increases the merriment
So at first you consider violence against the onlookers
But then on second thought
Maybe the bag
But it's made out of some kind
Of stretchy new plastic
That cannot be ripped in half
Sadly you walk on in anger and shame
Not considering the fate of the very next one
Who will try to avoid being hit in the leg
By the bag that is going around and around
In the miniature sidewalk whirlwind
Ever and always
Around the world
Everywhere you go
There will always be those
Who will try to avoid being hit in the leg
By the bag that is going around and around
In the miniature sidewalk whirlwind
Miniature sidewalk whirlwind
Miniature sidewalk whirlwind
Miniature sidewalk whirlwind
