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]…
