I need help identifying the theme scheme and meter of this song. Select a song that you like and scan the lyrics, noting the rhyme scheme and meter. Then, respond to these questions:

What rhyme scheme and meter do the lyrics have? Is it a set meter, or does it vary?
How do you think the song type (rap, hip-hop, pop, country, etc.) influences the kind of meter it has?
Would you expect to find a similar rhyme scheme and meter in other songs in this genre?
If you recited the song lyrics as you would a poem, would it have the same rhythm and meter as it does as a song?
Does putting the lyrics to the musical arrangement alter the spoken rhythm of the words?

Pyjama Pants
Song by Cavetown

Don't come 'round tonight
Don't want you to see me cry
'Cause my face is red and ugly
I'm afraid that you won't love me
He comes round anyway
Holds my face, says, "It's okay
I brought movies in a disc drive
I'll hold your hand at midnight"
Flicker on the screen
You sit close to me
I can finally breathe
And you rest your hand
On my pyjama pants
Feel my heart beat fast
Can we call today?
I just need to see your face
'Cause it melts me to a puddle
Trip on air and sprain my ankle
He's a lavender bouquet
Spray it on my pillowcase
Make me warmer in the summer
Like the pigment in your fingers
Let's go brush our teeth
Stand here next to me
Get them squeaky clean
And you rest your head
On my upper chest
Hear my heart beat fast
Wanna make you feel
Gentler then silk
Stronger than steel
Show them how to be calm
Wrap him 'round my arm
Remind each other what's a lie and what is real
What if we held hands in our pyjama pants?
Let our hearts beat complete at last
Mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
