LYRICS

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

'cos your eyes are tired and your feet are too,

and you wish the world was as tired as you.

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 rang and you were not home.

You forgot about this and you forgot about that

'cos you gotta get back to what you're doing.

Goodbye click that so and so you're an island and on your own.

And you yelled hey when the snow blew up,

upset, why yeah, footprints on the ceiling are almost gone,

and you're wonderin' why,

oh mama lay your head down don't you cry.

'cos your eyes are tired and your feet are too,

and you wish the world was as tired as you.

So I'll write a letter and send it away

and put all the troubles in it you had today.
