Think About Your Troubles

[Verse 1]

Sit beside the breakfast table

Think about your troubles

Pour yourself a cup a tea

And think about the bubbles

You can take your teardrops

And drop 'em in a teacup

Take them down to the riverside

[Verse 2]

And 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

[Verse 3]

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)

[Verse 4]

'Cause it tastes just like a teardrop

(So we run it through a filter)

And it comes out from a faucet

(And it pours into a teapot)

Which is just about to bubble now

Think about your troubles

[Outro]

Oh, oh-oh-oh
