You remember that total eclipse of the sun a couple weeks ago?
(Da-doo) I was walking through the Wholesale Flower District that day
(Shoop-da-doo) And I passed by this place where this old chinese man
(Chang-da-doo) He sometimes sells me weird and exotic cuttings
(Snip-da-doo) 'Cause he knows, you see, strange plants are my hobby
(La-la-la-la-la-la-do) He didn't have anything unusual there that day
(Nope-da-doo) And I was about to, you know, walk on by
(Good-for-you)
When suddenly, and without warning
There was this
Total eclipse of the sun (Total eclipse of the Sun)
It got very dark
And then I heard a strange humming sound like something from another world
(Da doo) When the light came back this weird plant was just sitting there
(Oops-ee-doo) Just, stuck in, you know, among the zinias
(Audrey-two) I coulda sworn it hadn't been there before but the old chinese man sold it to me anyway
(Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-doo) For a dollar ninety five
