Oh my god, you guys, it’s PERFECT. How did I not think of this years ago?
The most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard.
Lolita, Lolita, Lolita, Lolita.
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word.
Lolita, Lolita, Lolita, Lolita, Lolita, Lolita…
Lolita! I just met a girl named Lolita,
and suddenly that name will never be the same to me.
Lolita! I just kissed a girl named Lolita,
and suddenly I’ve found how wonderful a sound can be.
Lolita! Say it loud and there’s music playing.
Say it soft and it’s almost like praying.
Lolita. I’ll never stop saying “Lolita.”
Lolita, Lolita, Lolita, Lolita.
Lolita, Lolita, Lolita, Lolita, Lolita.
Say it loud and there’s music playing.
Say it soft and it’s almost like praying.
Lolita. I’ll never stop saying “Lolita.”
The most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard:
Lolita.
