lyrics

If you could see me, you might ask me why
sugar runs short and the aspartame runs dry
trees case shadows in the yellow grass that dies
the bluebird folds its wings and the glow slowly flies

I said "hum drum and hum diddle ay, spend your time and go away
hum drum and hum diddle dee, if you love someone must not be me"

Spend all my time looking at an old print
of a painting hanging somewhere I've never been
tells a sad story with every brush stroke
of a young life that sadly got broke

I said "hum drum and hum diddle ay, spend your time and go away
hum drum and hum diddle dee, if you love someone must not be me"

I said "hum drum and hum diddle ay, spend your time and go away
hum drum and hum diddle dee, if you love someone must not be me"
