Jim’s been spending some time on the internet
He sure likes that Q, and thinks the world is flat
Tell him otherwise, and he’ll have none of that
He’ll tell ya to use your eyes, and get a nice tin hat
My neighbor read the paper
Now he's scared to death
Losing sleep and counting sheep. Forgot to check his breath
Mad as hell about what's going on. Just pick a side, and sing the song
But with that one step forward, could you take two steps back?
Sometimes I pay the world no mind
Let them rattle on ‘til their face is lined
Come on in with who you’re with. We’re doing alright
Take a seat and lighten up and leave the preachers outside
My old man will tell you just how it is
Some good old boys never know just when to quit
So, how long will ya be goin on?
You’ve got my ear. Don’t get me wrong
Don’t mind me while I take a seat, while you’re taking your time.
Babble is as babble does
Babble on just because
Babble ‘cause it makes you clean
Babble when you’re feeling mean
Babble with your best of friends
Babble at the worst of them
A babble a day keeps the doctor away
Nevermind that your head is now scrambling eggs
Sometimes I pay the world no mind
Let them rattle on ‘til their face is lined
Come on in with who you’re with. We’re doing alright
Take a seat and lighten up and leave the preachers outside
