[Verse 1]
Down in the pipes where the reruns flow
In a bowl-side borough only plumbers know
Lives Toddlee Jay in a porcelain crown
Flush-side hero of Lye Kingdom town (hey!)
Rides his bike made of brown and chrome
Pedals through the bubbles
Calls it home
Waves at the rats on the sewer-side lane
Got a heart like a sun in a hurricane
[Chorus]
Toddlee Jay of Lye Kingdom
Tiny throne in a tiled old room
Got a crush on a girl from the upper world
Writing love in a bathroom bloom
Toddlee Jay of Lye Kingdom
Spelling dreams on a paper heart
“Dear Becky
Don’t scream
I’m nicer than I seem”
Signed with hope from the drain in the dark (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
He sees her shoes in the hallway light
Pink backpack
Hair tied tight
Hides in the swirl when she brushes her teeth
Practicing lines in the steam and the heat
He folds notes small like a secret wish
Leaves them taped by the soap and dish
“Your laugh makes my whole town shake”
“From a boy who the water can’t take”
[Chorus]
Toddlee Jay of Lye Kingdom
Tiny throne in a tiled old room
Got a crush on a girl from the upper world
Writing love in a bathroom bloom
Toddlee Jay of Lye Kingdom
Spelling dreams on a paper heart
“Dear Becky
Don’t cry
I’m your weird little guy”
Signed with hope from the drain in the dark (woah)
[Bridge]
One day Becky reads each line
Whispers
“Who’s this valentine?”
Looks down deep
Hears a nervous voice
“Hi
It’s me… I just had to try”
She laughs so hard that the mirror shakes
Says
“You’re gross
But you’ve got good taste”
Keeps his notes in a zip-topped bag
Calls him “my odd little underworld pal” (hey!)
[Chorus]
Toddlee Jay of Lye Kingdom
Tiny throne in a tiled old room
Got a crush on a girl from the upper world
Writing love in a bathroom bloom
Toddlee Jay of Lye Kingdom
Spelling dreams on a paper heart
“Dear Becky
I’ll stay
From your friend Toddlee Jay”
Signed with love from the drain in the dark
