Sit beside the breakfast table Think about your troubles Pour yourself a cup of tea Then think about the bubbles You can take your teardrops And drop 'em in a teacup Take 'em down to the riverside And throw 'em 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 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 That when a body decompses The basic elements Are given back to the ocean And 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 teardrop So 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.
