Lyrics:

 One hand
Loves the other
So much on me

I'm born, stubborn, me and will always be
Before you count one, two, three
I will, grown my own
Private branch of this tree

You gardener, you discipliner
Domestically, I can obey
All of your rules
And still be, be

I never thought I would compromise
I never thought I would compromise
I never thought I would compromise

Let's unite, tonight
We wish you, shouldn't fight
Embrace, you tight, let's unite, tonight

I thrive best, hermit style
With a beard, and a pipe
And a parrot on each side
But now I can't do this without you

I never thought I would compromise
I never thought I would compromise
I never thought I would compromise
Let's unite, tonight
We wish you, shouldn't fight
Embrace, you tight, let's unite, tonight

One hand
It loves the other
So much of me

Let's unite tonight
We shouldn't fight
Embrace you tight
Let's unite tonight

Let's unite, tonight
We wish you, shouldn't fight
Embrace, you tight, let's

Unison
Unison
Unison
