Think About Your Troubles (Nilsson Cover) Lyrics

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 â??em in a teacup
Take â??em down to the riverside
And throw â??em 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 everybody knows
(Everybody knows)
That when a body decomposes
The basic elements
Are given back to the ocean

And the sea does what oughta
And soon it's salty water
(That's not too good for drinking)
â??Coz it tastes just like a teardrop
(So they 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
