about

a jazz tale, with the first line borrowed from an old vaudeville joke.

lyrics

If you’re drinking coffee and get a pain in your eye, take out the spoon
If youre in Finland and want the snow to melt, wait till June
If you’ve got love words that seem slightly absurd, go ahead and emote
Unless its accompanied by screaming bagpipes, in which case just leave a note

If you’re flying a kite and the thunderstorm starts, call a guy named Ben
If you’re trying to write in outer space, use a pencil, not a pen
If you think you’ve met the love of your life in an internet chat room
Get out, go home before that Russian bot starts calling the tune

If you like rain, like really like rain, move to Seattle
If you think its hard to herd some cats, switch to cattle
If you like new made-up phrases, here’s one ‘vegan leather’
If you doubt manmade climate change, look at the weather

Take it slow, make it right, heaven knows, its outta sight

If you’re lying in bed and start to see stars, fix the hole in the ceiling
If you stream lots of music but never pay for it, stop your stealing
If you’re feeling fat, maybe cut down, have one less French fry
If your guy is indicted 91 times, maybe he’s the bad guy
