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.
