this one goes out to chica the bookstore dog. she's a boxer

vocals & lyrics by olive
ukulele by em

lyrics

ok
welcome to saturday-bookstore-early-20's-lesbian life
there's a dog at the bookstore
(and her name is chica!!!
isn't that nice??
that's a real dog that i saw,
that's a fact)

ok
but you and me
you have a lot of gel in your hair
and i think that we
should go buy all the danielle steele novels off the goodwill shelves

and we can burn burn burn them
'cause the urge for destruction
is still a creative urge

and when i was a kid
all my purchases would be influenced by my older sister

and she had that one american girl doll
from the time period
when nothing of interested, it was all just like, shifts in federal power

like, ok, great
this is the "shifts in federal power" doll
i think it was samantha
i dunno

but one day
she got a haircut, a really bad haircut

and we mailed her off
to the "american" "girl" doll "hospital"

and i say this because
nation and gender and fragile concepts
and the medical industry has proved to me to be untrustworthy

there's no guarantees
except that when my sister went there every week for her seizures
i'd get two poptarts from the vending machine--
wrapped in blue plastic,
$1.25--

and consume
