Shel Silverstein - My Mind Keeps Movin’Shel Silverstein - My Mind Keeps Movin’
Work rating: Low


Walk into a restaurant with chicken on my mind Look at the menu I want roastbeaf and wine A waitress comes up I order baked beans and bread Oh when she brings it I want ham`n eggs instead Because my mind keeps a movin` bouncin` and a groovin` A flippin` floppin` every whichaway From minute to minute if my mind ain`t really in it Never know just what I`m do or say Sometimes I wake up happy sometimes I wake up mean Sometimes I wake up missin` somethin` I ain`t seen Might wake up wasted and I might wake up dead Might wake up and look around and jump back into bed Because my mind keeps a movin`... [ guitar ] Sittin` home at midnight thinkin` bout Marie go to the phone I dial Carol Lee I say come by babe just as fast as you can And when she gets there I`m thinkin` bout Ann Because my mind keeps a movin`... Fly off to Paris just to get away from home Get off in London and I grab a boat for Rome Got to St Louis be in St Paul or else take a trip and go no place at all Because my mind keeps a movin`... I go to a psychiatrist to straighten my head Then I decide I need a chiropractor instead Put salt in my coffee and ketchup in my tea only dig a chick that don`t dig me Because my mind keeps a movin`... Sometimes I don`t shave and I look kinda weird So shave off my hair and I grow a beard Shave off my beard dye my eyebrows green Play myself a song upon a tambourine Because my mind keeps a movin`...
