Sit beside the breakfast table, think about your troubles 
D#              D#9             D#              D#9        
Pour yourself a cup of tea then think about the bubbles 
G#                G#9           G#            G#9    
You can take your teardrops and drop 'em in a teacup 
          C#          C#9 
Take them down to the riverside 
  
    Bb                  Bb9        Bb            Bb9 
And throw them over the side to be swept up by a current 
     D#           D#9         D#             D#9        
Then taken to the ocean to be eaten by some fishes 
         G#            G#9        G#             G#9    
Who were eaten by some fishes and swallowed by a whale

Who grew so old he decomposed, 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, now
