lyrics

Sour Cream by Ian Mort Mortimer

I’ve got a lot of crazy questions rattlin’ through my head
Keepin’ me awake at night while I’m lying in my bed
Like, how many cooks does it take to spoil the broth?
And how do you know for sure when the sour cream is off?
Why’s abbreviated such a long word?
Why can’t you rollerskate in a buffalo herd?
How can you tell when your pet rock is dead?
And what was the best thing before sliced bread?
And got handful of conundrums that I’m trying to solve
Like how did they measure hailstones before they invented golf?
Before they invented golf

Do they take a coffee break at the Twinnings factory?
Does Stevie Wonder ever say “I’ll just wait and see”
How much deeper would the ocean be if they took all the sponges out?
And what if the Hokey Pokey really is what it’s all about?
Are there any rhetorical questions left?
Why don’t they spell the word phonetic with an F?
What if Marcel Marco had nothing to say
And if today’s the first day of the rest of your life what the hell was yesterday?
What the hell was yesterday?

I’ve got a lot of crazy questions rattlin’ through my head
Keepin’ me awake at night while I’m lying in my bed
Like, how many cooks does it take to spoil the broth?
And how do you know for sure when the sour cream is off?
