Lyrics

The chef prepares a special menu

For your delight, oh my

Tonight you fly so high up

In the vanilla sky


Your life is fine, it's sweet and sour

Unbearable great, you've got to learn

You gotta love every hour

You must appreciate


This is your time

This is your day

You've got it all

Don't blow it away


The chef prepares a special menu

For your delight, oh my

Tonight you fly so high up

In the vanilla sky


Melted tin beads cast your fortune

In a glass of wine

Snail or fish, balloon or dolphin

See yourself shine


This is your time

This is your day

You've got it all

Don't blow it away


Oh, the chef prepares a special menu

For your delight, oh my

Tonight you fly so high up

In the vanilla sky


In the vanilla, in the vanilla

In the vanilla sky

In the vanilla, in the vanilla

In the vanilla sky

In the vanilla sky

Officially appears on
