From the recording Stars and the Fishes
Lyrics
The Stars and the fishes
and the tuna flavored kisses
and me and a pickle and you.
A cello ate your mother
and your father said don't bother
and he lathered up an eagle or two.
And oh,
it doesn't matter.
You will die and so will I,
so let it go.
The coal and the britches and
sooty-tasting kisses
and me and a bucket and you.
A minor ate your father
and your mother said don't bother
and she cooked up a scrambled choo choo.
And oh,
it doesn't matter.
You will die and so will I,
so let it go.
You will die and so will I,
so let it go.
Ralph McGibbons he taught me this song.
Taught me just to play along.
He said, "Here's how it goes.
These are the chords.":
A... D
A... B Minor
A... D
A... B Minor, F Sharp Minor
Fred Minor came home from his job.
Found his wife in bed with Bob.
He said, "Oh my god!
Hey there, Bob!
Bob, what's been going on."
"I just learned a brand new song.
Well, here's how it goes.
These are the chords."
A... D
A... B Minor
A... D
A... B Minor
The stars and the fishes
and the tuna flavored kisses
and me and a pickle and you.
A cello ate your mother
and your father said don't bother
and he lathered up an eagle or two.
And oh,
it doesn't matter.
You will die and so will I,
so let it go.
You will die and so will I,
so let it go.
You will die and so will I,
so let it go.
