Think About Your Troubles |
Sit beside the breakfast table |
Think about your troubles |
Pour yourself a cup of tea |
And think about the bubbles |
You can take your teardrops |
And drop 'em in a teacup |
Take 'em down to the riverside |
And throw 'em over the side |
To be swept up by a current |
And taken to the ocean |
To be eaten by some fishes |
Who were eaten by some fishes |
And swallowed by a whale |
Who grew so old |
He decomposed |
He died and left his body |
To the bottom of the ocean |
Now everybody knows |
That when a body decomposes |
The basic elements |
Are given back to the ocean |
And the sea does what it oughta |
And soon there’s salty water |
That’s not too good for drinking |
'Cause it tastes just like a teardrop |
So they run it through a filter |
And it comes out from a faucet |
And is poured into a teapot |
Which is just about to bubble |
Now, think about your troubles! |
