What If the Hokey Pokey is All it Really is About? |
The universe is runnin' away |
I heard it on the news just the other day |
There’s this new stuff called dark energy |
We can’t measure and we can’t see |
It’s some elemental mystery |
Train that we can’t catch |
But our heads are in the oven |
And somebody’s 'bout to strike a match |
Meanwhile back on our big round ball |
Things are getting serious as cholesterol |
Permutations, calculations, |
Greedy piggies at the trough |
Arrogance and ignorance |
Just to top it off |
I just can’t keep up with the Nasdaq |
Who got sold and bought |
I’ve got to take my lunch break |
But I’ll leave you with a little for thought |
Maybe it’s all too simple |
For our brains to figure it out |
What if the hokey pokey |
Is all it really is about |
What if life is just a cosmic joke |
Like spiders in your underwear or olives in your coke |
My life can get as messy as a day old sticky bun |
So I arm myself with punch lines and a big ol' |
water gun |
They say it’s not that simple but just maybe it should be It’s time to change the subject, would you join me in a cup of herbal tea? |
Maybe it’s all too simple |
For our brains to figure it out |
What if the hokey pokey |
Is all it really is about |
I still believe in rock 'n' roll |
It pays my bills and soothes my soul |
There really really isn’t |
A whole lot more around |
Except for Frank Sinatra and the Big |
band sound |
I want music in the music |
I want chicken in the soup |
I want caffeine in my system let’s revive |
the hula hoop |
Maybe it’s all too simple |
For our brains to figure it out |
What if the hokey pokey |
Is all it really is about |
