Song Lyrics

"Some Friendly Advice"

by The Swirling Eddies
Album: Zoom Daddy

Bake a cake, swim a lake, do a jig, slop a pig,
Say a prayer, cut your hair, smell a rose, pick your nose,
Take a trip, write a script, take a course, eat a horse,
Take a nap, draw a map, do your duty, shake your booty.

Something that you wouldn't ordinarily do,
Something just a little bit different for you,
Like forgiving a friend, and an enemy too,
You'll feel better, you'll feel better when your little day is through.

Smoke a cigar, drive a sports car, read the good book, try a skyhook,
Call your mother, kiss your father, tell 'em you love 'em, clean your oven,
Get up early, do a curly, feed the hungry, spend some money,
Feel the breeze, cut the cheese, chicken walk, smile at a cop.

Something that you wouldn't ordinarily do,
Something just a little bit different for you,
Like forgiving a friend, and an enemy too,
You'll feel better, you'll feel better when your little day is through.

See a show, dig a hole, fly a kite, take a hike,
Twiddle your thumbs, scratch your buns, make a face, run in place,
Play some pool, go back to school, drink a beer, pierce your ear,
Abstain from sex and cigarettes, go out to eat, soak your feet,
Make a mud pie, greet a fat guy, floss your teeth, keep the peace.

Something that you wouldn't ordinarily do,
Something just a little bit different for you,
Like forgiving a friend, and an enemy too,
You'll feel better..

Write yourself a note that says, "Be of good cheer,"
Paint yourself a sign that says, "The beginning is near."

Wash your dog, burn a log, visit a widow, fluff your pillow,
Paint a picture, clean your dentures, learn to surf, go to church,
Have a picnic, buy a quick-pick, join a carpool, drink a yahoo,
Play monopoly, eat some broccoli, take a bath, scratch your rash,
Knit a sweater, write a letter, roll down hill, make a will,
Flick your bic, call in sick, keep a vow, milk a cow,
Start a business, make a wish list, beat a drum, suck your thumb,
Go to confession, learn a lesson, visit a zoo, pack a mule,
Go to Sears, cry some tears, give stuff away, act in a play,
Plant a tree, work for free, join a club, save your stub,
Visit a jail, read your mail, T.P. a house, turn-on your spouse,
Plant potatoes, pick tomatoes, sleep in late, lose some weight,
Make up a dance and take a chance, walk around nude and play with your food,
Get baptized, go skydive, cast a vote, sail a boat,
Hold your breath, shop for less, help a neighbour, do a favour,
(fade)
