saskia hamilton

Ben Folds

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
