lyrics

Desperado Clio! Desperado Clio!
Wears her diapers backwards, onesies inside out
Tornado sirens sound when she unholsters her pout

Desperado Clio! Desperado Clio!
Has her veggies raw and milk spiked with cream
Digs in the garden in clothes freshly cleaned
Her glare’s intimidating, man you want her on your team


She rolled into the kitchen on her Rumba. The locals looked away - they didn't want any trouble. She made her demands: Graham crackers. Peanut butter. A pony. That one stuffed monkey they had thrown away after it fell in the toilet. And something they just couldn’t make out, something that sounded like "miggies." When they had done all they could to appease her, she sped off in a cloud of dust. But they knew she'd be back.

Desperado Clio! Desperado Clio!
Screams blue murder when it's time to rest
Looks incredibly adorable in a Boden vest

Desperado Clio! Desperado Clio!
Wears her filthy bug shirt every day
Can’t be resisted when she wants to play
If it's time to go she says it's time to stay

She rolled in again just as they knew she would. This time her demands were more extreme. She wanted ALL the blue M&M’s; she wanted to stay up until 7.30. She wanted to watch one episode of Puffin Rock over and over and over and over again. And when she didn’t get everything she wanted, she lay waste to the kitchen before hopping on her rumba and riding off into the sunroom.

Desperado Clio! Desperado Clio!
You’re one tough cookie but a joy extreme
A thousand watt smile and so many dreams
With heart so warm why it can melt ice cream
