Lyrics

The universe is running away
I heard it on the news the other day
There’s this new stuff called ‘Dark Energy’
That we can’t measure and we can’t see It’s some elementary mystery that we can’t catch
But our heads are in the oven
And somebody’s got a match

Meanwhile back on our big round ball
Things are getting serious as cholesterol
Permutations, calculations,
Greedy pigs at the trough
Arrogance and ignorance
Just to top it off
I just can’t keep up
With who got sold and who got bought
So would you join me on my lunch break
For a little food for thought

What if life is just a cosmic joke
Like spiders in your underwear or olives in your coke
I think we may be too serious, somber or devought
What if the hokey pokey Is all it really is about?

You put your hands in, You put your hands out
You put your hands in and you shake them all about
You only got two options having fun or freaking out
And that’s what it’s all about

I still believe in rock ‘n’ roll
It pays my bills and soothes my soul
There really isn’t
A whole lot more around
Except maybe Frank Sinatra and the Big band sound
I want music in the music
I want chicken in the soup
I want caffeine in my system let’s revive the hula hoop

What if life is just that cosmic joke
Like spiders in your underwear or olives in your coke
I think we’re way too serious, somber or devought
What if the hokey pokey Is all it really is about?

You put your right foot in, You put your right foot out
You put your left mouth in and you shake it all about
You do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself about
Having fun or freaking out

Yeah, the universe is running away
I heard it on the news the other day
They got this weird stuff called ‘Dark Energy’
That we can’t measure and we can’t see It’s some elemental mystery train that we can’t catch
But our heads are in the oven
And somebody’s got the match

You put your head in, You put your head out
You put your head in and you shake it all about
You’ve only got two options Light it up or blow it out
And that’s what it’s all about
