about

Yet another long distance collaboration from the Estonian-American-Finnish trio.

lyrics

Yo-Yo World

A yo-yo world
And it’s bouncin’ on a string
A yo-yo world
And it’s bouncin’ on a string
It will bounce back
But it's in an evil spin

The yo-yo man
He's got no sense at all
The yo-yo man
He's got no sense at all
When he sees an egg
Thinks it is a wreckin’ ball

Bounce it on the table, bounce it 'gainst the wall
Bounce it 'til the wheels come off this pretty little ball
It's a yo-yo world
And he's got it on a string
Thinks that when it snaps
He'll just chuck it in the bin

This yo-yo world
It can slap you in the face
This yo-yo world
It can slap you in the face
Hope it slaps him good
‘fore it gets too late
