Yeah
Yeah, uh huh
What's good?
Damn, it's setting in now (so high)
'Cause cartoons are turning into real life
Lemons and limes are fighting
Fighting over straws like they were oil filled pipes
And why's the sun writing this song?
And why is this funny to me?
All of a sudden the mouse comes along
And what he sings brings harmony
You may not understand
Why there's a smile on my face
It's 'cause this world could be
Such a wonderful place
'Cause some of these companies
Two-thousand began a race
But not me man
I see a wonderful place
The world's a wonderful place
My soul's in my smile
Don't frown, just get up, get up (look at the birds)
My soul's in my smile (look at the bees)
Don't frown, just get up, get up (look at the skies, look at the seas)
(It's a wonderful place, yeah)
My soul's in my smile
Don't frown, just get up, get up
My soul's in my smile (look at the cars, look at the planes)
Don't frown, just get up, get up (look at the sun, look at the stars)
The wallpapers moving
My arms and my legs leave a blur when I swipe
Sap is just oozing
The trees say, "Smoke blocks the sun"
So for them it's just night
The seven eyes lookin' through the clouds
And why is that funny to me? Uh
And here comes the mouse singing loud
And what he sings, it brings harmony
You may not understand
Why there's a smile on my face
It's 'cause this world could be
Such a wonderful place
'Cause some of these companies
Two-thousand began a race
But not me man
I see a wonderful place
The world's a wonderful place
My soul's in my smile
Don't frown, just get up, get up (look at the birds)
My soul's in my smile (look at the bees)
Don't frown, just get up, get up (look at the skies, look at the seas)
(It's a wonderful place, yeah)
My soul's in my smile
Don't frown, just get up, get up
My soul's in my smile (look at the cars, look at the planes)
Don't frown, just get up, get up (look at the sun, look at the stars)
My soul's in my smile
Don't frown, just get up, get up
My soul's in my smile
Don't frown, just get up, get up
My soul's in my smile
Don't frown, just get up, get up
My soul's in my smile
Don't frown, just get up, get up
So she tells her man, "Let's go fishin'"
Well go tomorrow morning when the sun rise
And then she says she wants to take her kids and
That's her boy that's 12 and her daughter that's 4 with angel eyes
So they get there and the sun has barely risen
Decided on a spot where the fish is plentiful with the tide
Get out their poles daddy smiles and said the fish is jumpin'
Then they heard a splash but it sounded bigger than fish size
12 yr old screams, "Mom"
And mom screams back
The baby was holdin' your arm
Well that was 30 seconds ago
So they jumped in
All comin up with nothin'
But then
Something told mom to look toward the light
But the sun wasn't yellow
It had turned white
So she listen and swam
She swam for the light
Like the Michelin man
She swam with such might
She spotted the baby
And she was on her back
Just as the light said, "Sunrise was Heaven's track"
She turned the baby over her eyes were still blue
Baby had a smile and said
"I was waitin' for you!"
Mom I was waitin' for you
Your baby
Mama, I love you
And I was waitin' for you
Hey
I was waitin' for you
I was waiting for you
Mama
I was waiting for you
I love you ma
Yeah, uh huh

i love this song but it doesn't make total sense. they're talking about mice singing and wallpapers moving. i think he was high when he wrote it lol
this song is about how getting high can make the world seem great, even when its not.
I love the line, "my soul's in my smile".
Could have been about drugs and their effects, but it's also a feel good song that may not make sense, and that could have been the sober intention.
This is song is based on an experience 4rell had when he ate 6 weed brownies...he said he hallucinated and that a mouse was actually talking to him!
I would really like to know where you heard pharrell say this song was written after he ate 6 weed brownies, are you sure this is true?<br />
OMG druggorz make you see diff weird things! thats never been done before LOL!
(seriously, this song has an incredible melody. you don't have to be high to realise that. N.E.R.D. kicks ass)
Song about a drug experience, either shrooms or acid since the imagery talks about things you'd see while hallucinating. I mean, in the first line he says "So high". Not to hard to figure out.
whatever an artist does to get their music out of their head isn't relevant..everyone should read the lyrics and realize the message...that LIFE is a wonderful place, just slow down and look at EVERYTHING..if it's not amazing then you better go out there and fix the world.
