My Calendar is a Doodle (2 of 10)

[VERSE 1] [CHLOE] I woke up this morning at half-past-a-rhyme I never use clocks, 'cause they're partners in crime With a thing called "a schedule," a thing called "a plan" That was clearly invented by some boring man! My socks never match, but my shoes are both red I've got seventeen pillows all over my bed I use ketchup for painting, and mustard for glue And I haven't deep-cleaned since... like... 2002! Some people like ledgers and sensible facts And balancing all of their 'debits' and 'acts' I tried that one Tuesday, I filed a receipt And my soul got so bored it fell right out of my feet! [CHORUS] [CHLOE] Oh! My calendar is a doodle! My grocery list is a song! If you're looking for logic and reason and sense Then I'm happy to tell you you're totally wrong! I live on a diet of impulse and whim On the edge of a moment, the top of a brim! 'Cause a life lived in beige is a life I reject! I'm a beautiful, glorious, colorful wreck! [VERSE 2] [CHLOE] I'm a freelance interpreter... of squirrel conversations I'm a sculptor of... things... from my old gas stations (The receipts, and the wrappers, and gum from the floor) I'm an architect building a "Maybe-Not" door! My apartment's a jungle, the plants have revolted The toaster is currently... (hmm)... being molted By a bird that I rescued! I call him "Sir Bite" He's composing an opera... It’s not very good, but it's HIS, and that's right! [CHORUS] [CHLOE] Oh! My calendar is a doodle! My grocery list is a song! If you're looking for logic and reason and sense Then I'm happy to tell you you're totally wrong! I live on a diet of impulse and whim On the edge of a moment, the top of a brim! 'Cause a life lived in beige is a life I reject! I'm a beautiful, glorious, colorful wreck! [BRIDGE] [CHLOE] My friends held me down, said "You need some stability" "You can't just adopt every cat in the city!" They said "Try this new app, it's efficient and smart" So I filled out the form as a piece of performance art! I said my 'Best Trait' was "Aquatic Vibration" My 'Hobby' was "Professional Procrastination" I said 'Yes' to all questions 'bout chaos and paint And 'No' to all questions 'bout logic and 'ain't'! I figured no-one would match, it was all just a joke A fun little button to click and to poke... [FINAL VERSE] [CHLOE] ...But a 'ping' just appeared, it's a 100 percent! It's a "Soulmate" the "Soulmate Systems" has sent! It says "He's the one! He's the one, guaranteed!" A 'Perfectly Compatible' logical breed! His name is... "Arthur"...? He's... an "Actuary"...? He likes... "Punctuality"... and "Gray"... Oh. Oh, this is gonna be (giggles) ...SO much fun!
