McCafferty's Bib

[Verse 1]

If only there were some way to shut out

All this noise in my head

Oh wait, there already is

It's called McCafferty's Bib

[Verse 2]

I used to have eleven problems

Then they all went away

When I added one more

Called McCafferty's Bib

[Chorus]

Now the gray, gray clouds have arrived

And the gray, gray clouds have decided

To stay with us from now on

[Verse 3]

I ate the whole bottle of pills

And wondered what I had swallowed

And I saw that the label

Said McCafferty's Bib

[Verse 4]

And then all the scenery melted away

And in back of it

The only thing left

Was McCafferty's Bib

[Chorus]

And the gray, gray clouds have arrived

And the gray, gray clouds have decided

To stay with us from now on

[Bridge]

In cities all over the world

All the people are suddenly struck by the same idea

They're massing in public squares

And they're singing a note that rises from low to high

[Verse 5]

With one hand

They're holding up signs of Bob Hope

In the other hand

Everyone's waving McCafferty's Bib

[Verse 6]

The toothpaste won't go back in the bottle

Since it granted our wish

And we will never be rid

Of McCafferty's Bib
