| Tell it to a bear, judgin' at a fair
|
| tell it to the leader of a cause;
|
| tell it to the mayor, sittin' in a chair,
|
| tell it to a jolly Santa Claus.
|
| Tell it a fool, makin' up a rule,
|
| tell it to a rabbitin a tree;
|
| tell it to a mule, swimmin' in a pool,
|
| tell it to a bubble in the sea.
|
| But don’t tell me about your troubles,
|
| don’t tell me about your tears,
|
| don’t tell me the worries that you know;
|
| 'cause I’m packing up my heartaches in your suitcase, honey dear,
|
| and I’m gonna feel much better when you’re gone.
|
| Tell it to a frog, settin' on a log,
|
| tell it to a berry in a pie;
|
| tell it to a dog, barkin' at a hog,
|
| tell it to a birdle in the sky.
|
| Tell it to a goat, ridin' in a boat,
|
| tell it to a drummer in a band;
|
| tell it to a shoat, swimmin' in a moat,
|
| tell it to a pebble in the sand.
|
| But don’t tell me about your troubles,
|
| don’t tell me about your tears,
|
| don’t tell me the worries that you know;
|
| 'cause I’m packing up my heartaches in your suitcase, honey dear,
|
| and I’m gonna feel much better when you’re gone. |
