World’s Best Friend

Lyrics

[AMANDINE] We begin with geometry. Zeno's paradox: In ancient Greece, the philosopher Zeno posited that no two objects could ever touch [YOUNG AMÉLIE] Some girls have classrooms where lessons are taught But a kitchen and fish bowl are all that we've got If you'll be my first mate then I'll be your chum And I'll buy you a castle and brand new aquarium! World's best friends! You and I Now you say it! [FLUFFY] World's best friends! You and I [YOUNG AMÉLIE] Now together! [YOUNG AMÉLIE & FLUFFY] World's best friends! [AMANDINE, spoken] Amélie! Pay attention! Zeno's paradox: To reach a point one must always reach a halfway point and from there the next halfway point. There will always be another half way point [FLUFFY] Listen to your crazy Mom! Droning on Look at me now I'm her: blah blah blah blah blah! This is no Sorbonne, where you should be There's that twitch every time she blinks Or she thinks as her lesson sinks in like a shipwreck for you and me! [AMANDINE, spoken] Two objects can never meet [FLUFFY & YOUNG AMÉLIE] Listen to your crazy Mom! Droning on Blah blah blah blah! Over and over I'm glad there's someone else who can see [FLUFFY] Your parents are crazy [FLUFFY & YOUNG AMÉLIE] But you can count on me! [AMANDINE, spoken] Amélie, did you hear me? Give me that bowl! [AMÉLIE, spoken] Fluffy! [AMANDINE, spoken] Give me the bowl. Give me the bowl [FLUFFY] Nooooo [RAPHAEL, spoken] The fish has to go! [AMÉLIE] You never got your plastic castle But Fluffy you've been granted a parole You're not being sold on the river You're getting the world's biggest bowl And any time that you get lonely Just take a little look up from below When you see stones skip the surface That's me saying hello [FLUFFY] Bye Bye Bye Goodbye [FLUFFY & YOUNG AMÉLIE] Goodbye
