Lyrics[]
Hmm, ooh-ooh, ah-ah
Hey, Terrence, do you want me? Do you love me?
Alabama in the Springtime is heavenly
Ave Maria, baby
Ave Maria, I don't even know what I want
Hey, Terrence, get your shotgun and your bible
The cicadas in the sunset are your guide
Sing Ave Maria, honey
Sing Ave Maria, ah
