Lyrics[]
Noodle:
For a moment, life doesn't seem quite so bad
For a moment, I kind of forgot to be sad
He turns night to day but don't get carried away
Never let down your guard,
Let them into your heart for a moment,
Not for a moment
Willy:
Noodle, Noodle, apple streudel
Some people don't and some people do-dle
Snakes, flamingos, bears, and poodles
Singing this song will improve your moodle
Noodle-dee-dee, Noodle-dee-dum
We're having oodles and oodles of fun
Noodle:
For a moment
Willy:
Noodle, Noodle, apple streudel
Noodle:
My life has turned upside-down
Willy:
Some people don't and some people do-dle
Noodle:
For a moment
Willy:
Snakes, flamingos, bears, and poodles
Noodle:
I can't keep my feet on the ground
Willy:
Singing this song will improve your moodle
Noodle:
He's the one good thing
Willy:
Noodle-dee-dee, Noodle-dee-dum
Noodle:
That's ever happened to me
Willy:
We're having oodles and oodles of fun
Noodle:
For a moment, life doesn't seem quite so bad
And for a moment, I kind of forgot to be sad
Noodle:
For a moment, life didn't seem quite so bad
For a moment, I almost forgot to be sad
I thought we were friends
But see how it always ends
Willy:
Sorry, Noodle,
I guess it just wasn't to be
Very soon you'll, you'll forget about me
At least this will buy you a better life
Noodle:
When will you ever learn that you always get burned
If you drop your defense, if you stop making sense
If you drop down your guard, let them into your heart
For a moment, for a moment
