sinkin' soon

we're an oyster cracker on the stew

and the honey in the tea

we're the sugar cubes

one lump or two

in the black coffee

the golden crust on an apple pie

that shines in the sun at noon

we're a wheel of cheese high in the sky

but we're gonna be sinkin' soon. in a boat that's built of sticks and hay

we drifted from the shore

with a captain who's too proud to say

that he dropped the oar

now a tiny hole has sprung a leak

in this cheap pontoon

now the hull has started growing weak

and we're gonna be sinkin' soon. we're gonna be

sinkin' soon

we're gonna be

sinkin' soon

everybody hold your breath 'cause

we're gonna be sinkin' soon

we're gonna be

sinkin' soon

we're gonna be

sinkin' soon

everybody hold your breath 'cause

down and down we go. like the oyster cracker on the stew

the honey in the tea

the sugar cubes

one lump or two?

no thank you none for me. we're the golden crust on an apple pie

that shines in the sun at noon

like the wheel of cheese high in the sky

well. we're gonna be sinkin' soon.
