Biography:
Singer-songwriter-pianist Taylor Giacoma is quickly becoming known on the indie music scene for a distinctive style that has been described both as folky pop and poppy folk - and is probably neither. Originally learning to sing and play piano by ear and later classically-trained, her music is both easily accessible and remarkably complex. Her lyrics are unusually intellectual and highly narrative, taking the listener on uniquely intimate and yet wonderfully universal journeys of love, loss, and perseverance.

Hey pink flamingo girl I heard they let you
Out of the zoo in your Izuzu
Am Am/G Am/F
But did they let you go real far
Am/E D7
Or just around the block
Am
While the zookeeper watched from your cage
D7
Heaven forbid you should think for yourself
Am Am/E Am/F# Am/G#
At this age
Am Am/B Am/C Am/D
Hush little baby don't say a word
Am Am/B Am/C Am/D
Your mama's got a nasty grudge
Am Am/G Am/F
And if she lets it go too far
Am/E D7
She'll have the zebras wondering
Am
What she's been up to at night
D7
Some of these things
Am
Don't break down well into black and white
And mama don't like grey
[Chorus]
Am D G Am D G Am
La dee da, la dee da,
D G Am D E7 Am
Kissaka, la dee da

Am Am/B Am/C Am/D
Just to see what you're up to

What will it say about the day
Am
You got too good
D7
Much as I hate to admit it

I knew that you would
Am Am/B Am/C Am/D
This little piggy went to the city
Am Am/B Am/C Am/D
Looking for a way to be
Am Am/G Am/F Am/E
Be careful what you wish for honey
D7
'Cause me and the tooth fairy
Am
Drink every Saturday night
D7
One of these days
Am
Gonna tell him to go put you right
And what's behind that smile
[Chorus]
