Sit beside the breakfast table
Think about your troubles
Pour yourself a cup of tea
Think about the bubbles
You can take your teardrops
And pour me in a teacup
Take 'em down to the riverside
Throw 'em over the side
To be swept up by a current
And then carried 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
ย
He died and left his body
To the bottom of the ocean
And everybody knows
That when a body decomposes
The basic elements
Are given back to the ocean
And the sea does what it ought to
And soon there's salty water
Not too good for drinking
'Cause it tastes just like a teardrop
So they run it through a filter
And it comes out of a faucet
And it pours into a teacup
Which is just about to bubble
Now, think about your troubles
Think about your troubles
