| You can whistle a tune, and buy a balloon
|
| You can even eat a bagel with a silver spoon
|
| But you can’t just eat hot soup with you’re bare hands
|
| You can hang like a bat, and dance with your cat
|
| You can even use your undies as a pirate’s hat
|
| But you just can’t eat hot soup with you’re bare hands
|
| So if you want to keep on top hot water
|
| If you want to find yourself top dog in the catbird seat
|
| Then don’t you try to do what you ought not to
|
| You better concentrate on doin' the things you can
|
| You can pickle a prune, rent a raccoon
|
| Dig yourself a swimming pool with Sun Myung Moon
|
| But you just can’t eat hot soup with your bare hands
|
| Give Edgar Winter a tan
|
| Swim to Azerbaijan
|
| Do the Macarena with the Wu-Tang Clan
|
| But you just can’t eat hot soup with your bare hands
|
| So you don’t play ball like Sammy Sosa
|
| So you’ll never fly to Toronto, rent a Miata, drive to the border,
|
| take a barrel down Niagra Falls
|
| The negative should not be dwelled on no sir, no
|
| You better concentrate on doin' the things you can
|
| (You the man!) Or the woman!
|
| You just can’t eat hot soup with your bare hands
