Come On Along
- 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 them in a teacup
Take them down to the riverside
And throw them 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 evverybody knows
That when a body decomposes
The
Pilots Song
they were supposedto be having such a good time
the flowers were there
but the guests had not yet arrived
but they prayed for you anyway
and they tried not to use his name in vain
my eyes going bad
I had to smile to see you cry
the bottom dropped outsomewhere along the way
but I won't drag your name around
when there's no one left to turn me down
expecting the worstwas the best that they could do
oh, just by a chance
would you ever make it alone
but they prayed for you anyway
yes, they prayed for you anyway
but they prayed for you anyway
yes, they prayed for you anyway
and they tried not to use his name in vain
they were supposedto be having such a good time
