you yelled "hey" when your car wouldn't start
so you got real nervous and started to eat your heart out
now you're so fat your shoes don't fit on your feet
you got trouble and it's tailor made
well mama lay your head down in the shade
'cause your eyes are tired, and your feet are too
and you wish the world was as tired as you, whoa
well I'll write a letter, and I'll send it away
and put all the trouble in it you had today
oh your telephone ring and you went "oh ho"
you forgot about this, and you forgot about that
and you gotta get back to what you doing
goodbye [click] that so and so
you're an island and on your own
and you yelled "hey" when the stove blew up
upset? why yes
the footprints on your ceiling, they're almost gone
and you're wondering why?
well mama lay your head down, don't you cry
'cause your eyes are tired, and your feet are too
and you wish the world was as tired as you, whoa
well I'll write a letter, and I'll send it away
and put all the trouble in it you had today
