Harry Nilsson Think About Your Troubles
Think About Your Troubles - Harry Nilsson 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 And throw them over the side To be swept up by a current And 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 evverybody 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 (That's not too good for drinking) 'Cause it tastes just like a teardrop (So they run it through a filter) And it comes out from a faucet (And is poured into a teapot) Which is just about to bubble Now think about your troubles
