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.
