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 'em in a teacup
Take 'em 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
He died and left his body
To the bottom of the ocean
Now everybody knows
When a body decomposes
The basic elements
Are given back to the ocean
And the sea does what it oughta
And soon that'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 a faucet
[And is poured into a teapot]
Which is just about to bubble
Now
Think about your troubles
Now
Now
Think about your troubles
