Meet the magnificent Malachite butterfly.

WEEZER - "Butterfly"

Yesterday I went outside
With my momma's mason jar
Caught a lovely Butterfly
When I woke up today
Looked in on my fairy pet
She had withered all away
No more sighing in her breast
I'm sorry for what I did
I did what my body told me to
I didn't mean to do you harm
Everytime I pin down what I think I want
It slips away - the ghost slips away
I smell you on my hand for days
I can't wash away your scent
If I'm a dog then you're a bitch
I guess you're as real as me
Maybe I can live with that
Maybe I need fantasies
A life of chasing butterfly

I'm sorry for what I did
I did what my body told me to
I didn't mean to do you harm
Everytime I pin down what I think I want
It slips away - the ghost slips away

I told you I would return
When the robin makes his nest
But I ain't never coming back

Meet Malcolm - he's a Great Dane and would like to sit on your lap, please.

PUNCHLINE - "The Dane Song"

He’s a friend you can depend on for a smile,
Everyday or even just once in a while.
The man, we sung about in the van.
All the girls agree that he is pretty sweet.
Got a ticket once for pissing in the street,
But he just really needed to pee.

If I could I would take his face and make it famous,
He’s a real celebrity…or at least he is to me.

He wore a Megadeth shirt, He went with me to concerts,
He had a beat up blue car, gave me rides to practice, then he got a new car
I met him in the sixth grade, in Webster I was afraid,
Cause once he said to me “run” and when I started running he shot me with a BB gun.

He’s my only friend that I am taller than.
Yet everyday he takes a Flinstone’s vitamin,
He says, his favorite ones are the red.
He’s a friend and a musician and a ref,
Listens to heavy music loud and one day he’ll be deaf,
Oh well….he won’t need hearing in hell.

If I could I would take his face and make it famous,
He’s a real celebrity…or at least he is to me.

If I could I would take his face and make it famous,
He’s a real celebrity and he gets into the shows for free.
He’s a friend like a friend should be.

Plays bass in a band and he hangs out with the Shrimpman,
Drinks until he’s silly every single Friday at Tequila Willie’s.
If you’re looking for a good time you can find him online.
Ask me for his screen name.
And so ends my shout out to my very good friend Dane.

Any day swimming with a manatee is grand. And, this day got EVEN BETTER because then we went to see the mermaids at Weeki Wachee and saw IDA play that evening for the first time in a decade - see cltampa.com/tampa/singing-the-praises-of-idas-historic-ch.... Pretty awesome. Yep.

NERF HERDER - "(Stand By Your) Manatee"

I am a manatee
I live in the sea
I sneak up at night
Pretty baby, just to love you right

You're friend's gonna put me down
'Cause I'm fat, slimy, and brown
They'll never know how you sigh
When you feel my flipper movin' up your thigh

I am a manatee
M-A-N-A-T-E-E
I am a manatee
M-A-N-A-T-E-E
Stand by your manatee

Don't you act like a stranger
Even though I am endangered
Your lady's gonna flip
With a kiss from my prehensile lip

Some call me a fat sea-cow
But I'm I got real know-how
You'll hunger for the taste
Of my briny sea water on your pretty little face

I am a manatee
M-A-N-A-T-E-E
I am a manatee
M-A-N-A-T-E-E
Stand by your manatee

Tell the lobster
Tell the bass
The alligator can kiss my ass

Tel the barnacle
Tell the crab
Tell the whale and Captain Ahab

How you scream and shout "Hot damn!"
When you feel my whiskers on your clam, yeah

Swim
Swim (alright)
Swim
Swim

Pretty baby, how you look so nice
I wanna lick you once or twice
Rub my fat, blubbery body
All over you and get real naughty

I am a manatee
M-A-N-A-T-E-E
I am a manatee
M-A-N-A-T-E-E
I am a manatee
M-A-N-A-T-E-E
Stand by your manatee
