troubles

February 27th, 2001 @ 1:34 pm PST

Sit beside the breakfast table
Think about your troubles
Pour yourself a cup o’ tea
Then think about the bubbles
If you could take your teardrops
And drop ’em in a teacup
Take ’em down to the riverside
Throw ’em over the side
To be swept up
By a current
Then 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 dee doo
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
(Which is not too good for drinkin’)
So we run it though a filter
And it comes out from a faucet
And it pours into a teacup
Which is just about to bubble
Now
Think about your troubles …
