Think About Your Troubles lyrics
Think About Your Troubles lyrics
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 them in a teacup
Take them down to the riverside
And throw them 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 doo-oo doo-oo doo-oo
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 ought'a
And soon there's salty water
[Not too good for drinking]
'Cause it tastes just like a teardrop
[So we run it through a filter]
And it comes out from the faucet
[And pours into a teapot]
Which is just about to bubble
Now [now]
Think about your troubles [aaah-a]…
