Sinkin' Soon

We're an oyster cracker on the stew

And the honey in the tea

We're the sugar cubes, one lump or two?

In the black coffeeThe golden crust on an apple pie

The sands in the sun at noon

We're a wheel of cheese high in the sky

But we're gonna be sinkin' soonIn a boat that's built of sticks and hay

We drifted from the shore

With a captain who's too proud to say

That he dropped the oarNow a tiny hole has sprung a leak

In this cheap pontoon

Now the hull has started growing weak

And we're gonna be sinkin' soonWe're gonna be sinkin' soon

We're gonna be sinkin' soon

Everybody hold your breath

'Cause we're gonna be sinkin' soonWe're gonna be sinkin' soon

We're gonna be sinkin' soon

Everybody hold your breath

And down and down we goLike the oyster cracker on the stew

The honey in the tea

The sugar cubes, one lump or two?

No, thank you, none for meWe're the golden crust on the apple pie

The sands in the sun at noon

Like the wheel of cheese high in the sky

Well we're gonna be sinkin' soon
