Sit beside the breakfast table
Think about your troubles
Pour yourself a cup of tea
Then think about the bubblesYou can take your teardrops
And drop 'em in a teacup
Take 'em down to the riverside
And throw 'em over the sideTo be swept up by a current
Then taken to the ocean
To be eaten by some fishes
Who were eaten by some fishesAnd swallowed by a whale
Who grew so old he decomposed
He died and left his body
To the bottom of the oceanNow everybody knows
That when a body decomposes
The basic elements
Are given back to the oceanAnd the sea does what it oughta
And soon there's salty water
Which is not to good for drinkin'
Cause it tastes just like a teardropSo we run it through a filter
And it comes out from a faucet
Where it pours into a teapot
Which is just about to bubble
Now think about your troubles
