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,
/ Em Em
That shines in the sun at noon,
We're a wheel of cheese high in the sky,
But we're gonna be sinkin' soon.
Piano Solo 3x: Em
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 'cuz,
We're gonna be sinkin' soon
Instrumental: Em (5x)
Em (4x)
We're gonna be
Sinkin' soon,
We're gonna be
Sinkin' soon,
Everybody hold your breath 'cuz,
Down and down we go.
Piano Solo 3x: Em
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.
