You found me in some alley staring at a wall of bricks

You were writing your name along the mortar

Then landed a butterfly, stopping in heat to fry

You told me you been dreamin’ of levitation tricks

And you could try ‘em flyin’ south of the border

Well honey, you have entered the right dream, ‘umma flappin’ my wings ‘n fly

‘Cause I’m a tropical rocket, i’m a tropical rocket

Take you up the neighborhood, waving at us feeling good

Flappin’ our wings ‘n fly

I assumed you were in it for the long haul

That was a bad assumption

Maybe stick around for a mai tai if there’s anything left to try

You throw a curve, I try to swerve into the warm storm, woah Bermuda Triangle

I can see the whole world

‘Umma flappin’ my wings ‘n fly

‘Cause I’m a tropical rocket, I’m a tropical rocket

Take you past the edge of town, up too high to see the ground

Flapping our wings ‘n fly

‘Cause I’m a tropical rocket, I’m a tropical rocket

Flying by the high seas, gliding by the palm trees

Flapping our wings ‘n fly
