Your Spleen's Too Big

To Ellie: Happy Birthday/Get Well/We Miss You/Move To Rochester!

This video is for our dear friend Ellie, who has an enlarged spleen on account of her contracting mono. To the tune of "Your Feet's Too Big" by Fats Waller.

Lyrics:
Up in Saratoga, at a table for two
There were three of us... me, your big spleen, and you
From your innards out you sure are keen
But on the inside there's just too much spleen

Your spleen's too big
Don't want you cause your spleen's too big
Can't use you cause your spleen's too big
I really hate you cause your spleen's too big

Heard it's mono
Where'd you get it?
Your guy he likes you, he thinks you're hot
He wants to kiss you but he says I'd better not

I know with him, you want to take charge
But you can't cause that thing is too large

Your spleen's too big
Don't want you cause your spleen's too big
Mad at you cause your spleen's too big
I hate you cause your spleen's too big

Your internal organs are tremendous
Your dance event attendance is horrendous
You've got me walking, talking, squawking
Cause your spleen's too big, yeah
