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 decomposes   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
