shel silverstein - my mind keeps movin' lyrics
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’…
