I sing clattering all the summer long
You've no choice but to listen to my song
I express so stridently
The joy of life persistent in mighty, mighty me

One of millions
Imperturbably I'll sing my credo with not a moment's falter

Shine oh sun, with warmth upon my back
Sideways steps when the heat begins to lack
Dedicatedly I eat by plunging my proboscis deep into this tree
I drink my fill
Side by side both sexes find the nectar that flows within the floor

Picture me, a vaulted canopy
They can't say for an organ two or three
Resonant cavity fakes a pull on the vox cigala you know the organ stop
Oscillations
Cymbals snap and mirrors flex and the chapels do form a tiny church

Find you brash my vociferous avows
My ardor offends the silence you espouse
Hail harvest time you reap your wheat
And by the time you eat it I'll be obsolete
Such a short life
Seventeen or three or more I've waited so long to greet the sun
So let me have my fun
