Think About Your Troubles Lyrics - Singles - Belly

Written by 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 'em in a teacup. 

Take em down to the riverside, 

And throw em over the east 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 that when a body decomposes 

The basic elements are given back to the ocean, 

Then sea does what it oughta: 

Consume the salty water (not too good for drinkin'), 

'Cause it tastes just like a teardrop (so you run it through a filter), 

And it comes out of the faucet (when it pours into the teapot), 

Which is just about to bubble. 

Now think about your troubles. 

Now, are you sleeping? 

Can you hear me now?
