Woundsgate – more lyrics leaked

Fresh from the living room sandbox, further insight into the forthcoming June & the Exit Wounds album has been made public. “Jolly (Ha Ha) Rancher” is a departure for June mastermind Todd Fletcher, evoking the electronic funk and dance music of the early 1980’s . . . complete with a processed vocal treatment ala Cameo. On the surface, the Opus transports the listener back to the often missed charity candy-selling days of high school. However, the underlying sexual tension between the narrator and his fundraising subject may be too much for some. Caramello, indeed.

Jolly (Ha Ha) Rancher:
jolly rancher, jolly rancher
I see your ranchers, girl

baby whatchyu
whatchyu got in your mouth
I know I saw some jolly rancher
don't try to sike me out

got fifteen minutes
until the school bell ring
teacher turn around
so I can do my thing

first some tangerine to start some fun
then a sour apple flat on your tongue
now baby show me what that tongue can do
bend it round into a horseshoe

bridge:
I know I used to be the mellow fellow
spend my dollar on a Caramello
oh but girl your fund raising days are through
I see your ranchers girl just give me one or two

holdin tight, can't shake it loose
shrinky dinkin while it sticks on my tooth
some are green, some are orange, and some blue
I see your ranchers girl just give me one or two
