Reginasaurus.
I don't have time to post an actual entry (stupid Euro History!), but when Alex and I were surfing on the Internet today, we found a website with Regina Spektor songs. And thanks to this one, "Samson" just might have to share its title as my favorite Regina song ever, as far as lyrics go.
Reginasaurus
If I was a dinosaur I'd be a Reginasaurus
And if I knew a million English words I'd have my own Spektor's thesaurus
If I was born in the merry month of May, then I would be a Taurus
And if I had some extra time on my hands then I'd surely join a chorus
If I was a philosophy I'd be Registentionalism
And if people spoke using quotes of me then they'd say "Reginaism"
If there was a religion of me, then my church would surely have a schism
There'd be Regewish and Registian and Reguslam and Regatheist and Regudist
But they'd still be friends
If I was a great big city I'd be Reginaopolis
No one would be achey or hungry
In my thriving metropolis
Unless of course they came down with a bad case of Reginitis
A heartache and a headache and a sunburn and a little bit of acute gastritis
But if I was a dinosaur I'd be a Reginasaurus
If I was a dinosaur I'd be a Reginasaurus
And if I knew a million English words I'd have my own Spektor's thesaurus
If I was born in the merry month of May, then I would be a Taurus
And if I had some extra time on my hands then I'd surely join a chorus
So maybe it's not quite so symbolic and moving as "Samson"...but isn't it just the cutest thing you ever heard?
