Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We're an oyster cracker on the stew
Honey in the tea
We're the sugar cubes, one lump or two
In the black coffee
[Verse 2]
Golden crust on the apple pie
That shines in the sun at noon
We're a wheel of cheese high in the sky
And we're gonna be sinkin' soon
[Verse 3]
On 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
[Verse 4]
And a tiny hole has sprung a leak
In this cheap pontoon
Now the hull has started growin' weak
And we're gonna be sinkin' soon
[Verse 5]
We're gonna be sinkin' soon
We're gonna be sinkin' soon
So, everybody, hold your breath
'Cause we're gonna be sinkin' soon
[Verse 6]
We're gonna be sinkin' soon
We're gonna be sinkin' soon
So, everybody, hold your breath
And down and down we go
[Verse 7]
Like an oyster cracker on the stew
The honey in the tea
The sugar cubes, one lump or two
No thank you, none for me
[Verse 8]
Golden crust on the apple pie
That shines in the sun at noon
We're a wheel of cheese high in the sky
And we're gonna be sinkin' soon
