A City Girl
She’s just a city girl inside a plastic box
Not much to do, maybe just stay at home
Maybe, perhaps, she would take a walk
And she might better just leave and roam
She might be lonely around the streets
Where just her shadow is her company
Maybe, perhaps, she could hear some beats
And a pretty song becomes her company
And while she walks she sings
Oh dum-da-dum-da-dum
And while she walks she sings
Oh dum-da-dum-da-dum
And while she walks she sings
Oh, dum-da-dum-da-dum
And while she walks, she sings
Oh, dum-da-dum-da-dum
She just a city girl in a lovely park
No much to do maybe watch the birds
Maybe, perhaps, scream and bark
Scare the birds and watch which one flies
The night has come and the lights are bright
Not much to do, maybe stare at the moon
Maybe, perhaps, she will enjoy her night
And walk back home while she hears the tune
And while she walks she sings
Oh dum-da-dum-da-dum
And while she walks she sings
Oh dum-da-dum-da-dum
And while she walks she sings
Oh, dum-da-dum-da-dum
And while she walks, she sings
Oh, dum-da-dum-da-dum

Song info
A portrait of urban solitude that follows a woman’s solitary wanderings through the city. The repetitive “dum-da-dum-da-dum” mimics both her footsteps and the simple tune she sings to keep herself company. The song captures the paradox of being surrounded by people yet feeling alone.
