[Travis Love Benson]
I spy a flower, a snake that looks strong,
Three people, a smile that doesn't belong;
A dragon, two marbles, a bird, and a star,
A horn, a brown harp, and a tiny toy car.
I spy
With my little eye
Something green!
I spy
With my little eye
Something green!
Can you guess what it is?
Can you guess what it is?
[Zovi]
Is it a basket?
[Travis Love Benson]
No, it's not a basket!
[Zovi]
Is it your hat?
[Travis Love Benson]
No, it's not my hat!
[Zovi]
Is it that dress?
[Travis Love Benson]
Yes, it's that dress!
You're doing your best
So guess again!
[Zovi]
But I got it right...
[Travis Love Benson]
I spy
With my little eye
Something red!
I spy
With my little eye
Something red!
Can you guess what it is?
Can you guess what it is?
[Zovi]
Is it your shirt?
[Travis Love Benson]
No, it's not my shirt!
[Zovi]
Is it that flower?
[Travis Love Benson]
No, it's not that flower!
[Zovi]
Is it an organ?
[Travis Love Benson]
Yes, it's an organ!
Organs are red!
[Both]
ORGANS ARE RED!
[Travis Love Benson]
Are you getting it?
[Zovi]
Oh I think I get it!
This book of picture riddles...
Ever since I read it
I've found I'm in the middle
Of a whole world of magic
Built of our own stuff
And chaos is no longer tragic
And this mess is not enough!
[Travis Love Benson]
I spy
With my little eye
Something purple!
[Zovi]
Purple?! I love purple things.
[Travis Love Benson]
Oh, I spy
With my little eye
Something purple!
[Zovi]
Yes...
Yes...
Yes, you've opened my eyes!
The universe is complicated!
And every part of every size
Can be found and celebrated!
In rhyme!
In song!
And I just want to sing
That I have found the cosmos
And I Spy Everything!
[Travis Love Benson]
Can you guess what it is?
[Zovi]
Can I guess what it is?
[Travis Love Benson]
Can you guess what it is?
[Zovi]
Can I guess what it is?
[Travis Love Benson]
Can you guess what it is?
[Zovi]
Can I guess what it is?
[Travis Love Benson]
Can you guess what it is?
[Zovi]
Can I...guess...? Yes!
I Spy the littlest speck
And I Spy the largest sun
And I Spy the meaning of life
And I Spy the souls of everyone
And I Spy the future
And I Spy the past
And I Spy the First
And I Spy the Last
And I Spy the pantheon of forbidden gods
And I Spy their masters and their alien pods
And I Spy my own place in this constructed reality
And I Spy the multiverse's great skeleton key
And I grasp it
And I turn it
And I open the door into the unknown and allow my eyes to bask in the glory of the fractal infinity!
...is it a kazoo?
[Travis Love Benson]
Yes!
It's a kazoo!
You knew it!
[Zovi]
Yay.
[Travis Love Benson]
I spy a green dress, two shoes, and a knife
I spy the end to a long-lasting life;
A glue gun, a purple bag, a D, N, and R,
Heaven's gate, hell is late, and the crashing of a car.
