Think About Your Troubles Lyrics - Singles - Nilsson Harry

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 them in a teacup 

Take them down to the riverside 

And throw them 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, ooh 

Doo-doo 

Doo-doo 

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 

And the sea does what it oughta 

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 from a faucet (and it pours into a teapot) 

Which is just about to bubble 

Now 

Think about your troubles 

Oh, oh, oh, oh 

Ah, ah, ah, ah 

Ah, ah, ah, ah
