Oh there'll be time to get by, to get dry after the swimming pool

Oh there'll be time to just cry, I wonder why it didn't work out

Oh there'll be time to fish fry for letters by yours truly

♪

Yours truly

Someone in my dictionary's up to no good

I never find the very special words I should

So I have another party with a water glass

And I sit on all your actions, it's a birthing game

And I'll bet he needs a shower, 'cause he's just like me

And the soldiers in the painting know your secret face

Well your parrot told me just how I can make you smile

Gonna let you do your thinking, if you need awhile

But what I gave you made him get mad

A little bit funny how a thing like that

Could travel from one mouth in through another

And the next thing you know you gotta hear it from your brother

And the words they sting like a stump of old wasps

Do you remember when I said "go throw the rock in there"?

And we ran through the woods to our good house

But you forgot about the things that he could say like

I don't think that I like you anymore

Well I found new feelings at the feeling store

And I can't find you at our kissing place

Well I'm scared of those new pair of eyes you have

So I duck out, go down to find the swimming pool

Hop a fence, leave the street and wet your feet to find the swimming pool

'Cause when I'm snuffed out, I doubt I'll find a swimming pool

Hop a fence, leave the street and wet your feet to find the swimming pool

But I don't wish that I was dead

A very old friend of mine once said

That either way you look at it, you have your fits

I have my fits, but feeling is good

And confusion's not a kidney stone in my brain

But if we're miscommunicating, do we feel the same?

Then either way you look at it, you have your fits

I have my fits, and feeling is good
