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
an d throw them over the side
To be swept up by a current,
then taken to the ocean
To be eaten by some fishes,
who were eaten by some fishes
Then 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
that when a body decomposes
The basic elements
are given back to the ocean
And the sea does what it oughta
Soon the salty water
Which is not too good for drinking
Cause it tastes just like a teardrop
So we ride it through a fiddle dress
And it comes out from a false head
And it pours into a teapot
Which is just about to bubble
Love
Think about your troubles, baby
Love
about your trouble now
