Banana Pancakes Lyrics

Well, can't you see that it's just rainin'?
There ain't no need to go outside

But baby
You hardly even notice
When I try to show you this
Song is meant to keep you
Doin' what you're supposed to
Wakin' up too early
Maybe we could sleep in
Make you banana pancakes
Pretend like it's the weekend now

We could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just rainin'?
There ain't no need to go outside

But just maybe
Halaka ukulele, mama made a baby
Really don't mind the practice
'Cause you're my little lady
Lady, lady love me
'Cause I love to lay here lazy
We could close the curtains
Pretend like there's no world outside

Then we could pretend it all the time
And can't you see that it's just rainin'?
There ain't no need to go outside

Ain't no need, ain't no need
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Can't you see, can't you see?
Rain all day and I don't mind

But the telephone's singing, ringing
It's too early, don't pick it up
We don't need to
We got everything we need right here
And everything we need is enough
Just so easy when the whole world fits inside of your arms
Do we really need to pay attention to the alarm?
Wake up slow
Mmm-mmm, wake up slow

But baby
You hardly even notice
When I try to show you this
Song is meant to keep you
From doin' what you're supposed to
Wakin' up too early
Maybe we could sleep in
Make you banana pancakes
Pretend like it's the weekend now

We could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just rainin'
There ain't no need to go outside

Ain't no need, ain't no need
Rain all day and I really, really, really don't mind
Can't you see, can't you see?
We gotta wake up slow
