Pick a petal, eenie meeny miny mo
And flower, you're the chosen one (whistle)

Gee whiz, girl, you're the one for me (whistle)
Though your man's bigger than I am
And oh my days, he disagrees
Oh no (whistle)

Well your left hand's free
And your right's in a grip
With another left hand
Watch his right hand slip
Towards his gun
Gun, gun, gun, gun
Gun, gun, gun, gun
Oh no

(Instrumental)

​​alt-J

alt-J is an English indie rock band that consists of vocalist and guitarist Joe Newman, keyboardist and bassist Gus Unger-Hamilton and drummer Thom Green. Gwil Sainsbury was the band’s bassist before leaving the band in early 2014.

Formed at Leeds University and signed to a label in Cambridge, UK, the band originally made songs on Garageband before releasing them under the pseudonym ∆.

∆’s name takes a little explaining. Pronounced alt-J, the delta sign is inserted when you press alt and J on a Mac keyboard.
