in Meinong, in the valley of the butterfly time doesn’t go very fast
things just seem to last

in Meinong I saw a butterfly dance like a butterfly does
made me think about how clumsy I was

in Meinong I saw a man on a bicycle balancing a load of wood
his balance was that good

in Meinong I saw a family of five on a motor scooter
goin’ out for a drive

in Meinong, in Meinong

and it’s a big round world, yes it is, all around the world
it’s a big round world, yes it is, all around the world

in Meinong there was a temple on the hillside, I prayed to the Buddha
for the flower to open up wide

in Meinong I drank the good strong ginger tea
and it agreed with me

in Meinong everything grew
tomato and the pepper and the betel nut too

in Meinong I ate the green grass, the fish and the squid
and everybody else did too

in Meinong, in Meinong

and it’s a big round world, yes it is, all around the world
it’s a big round world, yes it is, all around the world

in Meinong there was a melon sweet, juicy on my sweater
and somethin’ like an apple only better

in Meinong the sun flew by on a butterfly breeze
ricochet wing way up the trees

in Meinong my spirit got lighter and my head got clear
and I thought to myself I’m gonna stay right here

in Meinong, in Meinong

and it’s a big round world, yes it is, all around the world
it’s a big round world, yes it is, all around the world

in Meinong all around the circle eternity flows
but after a while you gotta go I suppose

in Meinong everybody’s got a home and I got mine
don’t say goodbye, say see ya next time

in Meinong, in Meinong

and it’s a big round world, yes it is, all around the world
it’s a big round world, yes it is, all around the world
