I took my darling out to the aquarium
Sea creatures stared at us and we stared back at them
My baby freaked when she peeked at that eight legged blob with a beak
She was too scared to speak
And I said...
Don't be upset, it's only an octopus
Don't bother it and I'm sure it won't bother us
Please don't be upset my darling, please don't be upset
My baby came riding to meet me one time,
On the crowded last car of the downtown-bound nine,
She was brave but she caved when the train was delayed,
It was just the last straw in her hard busy day
And I said...
Don't get upset cause it's not a catastrophe,
Nothing will happen and soon you'll be back with me,
Please don't be upset my darling please don't be upset
My girl's got a headache her ankle is hurting too,
Boots she bought gave her a rash & her wisdom tooth
is coming in and it's damp out and she's having cramps
and she's so mad at me cos I didn't shave
I said don't be upset I know you're feeling sensitive
I'll try to be kinder and be more attentive
please don't be upset my darling please don't get upset
Darling I said, I'm gonna be 27 soon
I've only got rejection letters and a sense of impending doom
I think it's too late for me
all the comic companies hate me
and I try but it's always the same
I guess my art is just lame and it's strange but still somehow
I'm always not suiting your needs at this time
and she said ...
Don't be upset,
you know that you're wonderful
just keep on trying ... (actually what she really said was)
all you ever wanna talk about is yourself and your comic books and your album and your tour
and everytime I see your friends they just ask me where you are again and it hurts,
it makes me feel like dirt
I should just write where you are on my shirt
and I said...
Don't be upset, don't be in a bad mood
let's just go to a show and hang out and feel good
Come on please don't be upset my darling,
please don't be upset, I'll do anything baby, just don't be upset
Well Jeff I gotta say I think you're doing fine,
I think you're quite sensitive most of the time
I think you're just devoted to your work and your craft and maybe some ladies aren't down with the raft
When you go down the river
When you go down the river
When you go down the river
When you go-o-o-o-o-ooo
When you go-o-o-o-o-ooo
When you go-o-o-o-o-ooo
