Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa Lyrics
[Verse 1]
As a young girl, Louis Vuitton
With your mother on a sandy lawn
As a sophomore with reggaeton
And the linens you're sittin' on
[Chorus]
Is your bed made, is your sweater on?
Do you want to fuck like you know I do?
Like you know I do, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Post-Chorus]
But this feels so unnatural, Peter Gabriel too
But it feels so unnatural, Peter Gabriel
[Verse 2]
Can you stay up to see the dawn?
In the colors of Benetton
[Chorus]
Is your bed made, is your sweater on?
Do you want to, like you know I do?
Like you know I do, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
As a young girl, Louis Vuitton
With your mother on a sandy lawn
As a sophomore with reggaeton
And the linens you're sittin' on
[Chorus]
Is your bed made, is your sweater on?
Do you want to fuck like you know I do?
Like you know I do, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Post-Chorus]
But this feels so unnatural, Peter Gabriel too
But it feels so unnatural, Peter Gabriel
[Verse 2]
Can you stay up to see the dawn?
In the colors of Benetton
[Chorus]
Is your bed made, is your sweater on?
Do you want to, like you know I do?
Like you know I do, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
About
Genius Annotation
“Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa” is a weird class-parable type song, and the fourth track on Vampire Weekend’s self-titled debut.
Remember when people used to call Vampire Weekend’s style “Upper West Side Soweto”? This song is unabashed about its oddities, containing as much prep as the name “Upper West Side Soweto” gives off, but it’s still a great song with (as usual) excellent guitar.
