She was a hot blooded woman, sending chills up and down his spine
Now she's got him, crying in his wine
It don't impress me, it don't impress me not at all
You can tell me about your troubles till you turn blue
No one's got them like I do
You got something you don't want, and it's one of a kind
The doctor said son, you're running out of time
Well it don't impress me, not at all
Cause you can tell me about your troubles, till you turn blue in the face
No one's got them like I do
Jump off the bridge, into the San Francisco bay
Let the waters, carry you away,
It won't impress me, it won't impress me at all.
Cause you can tell me about your troubles till you turn blue,
No one's got em like I do
I'm so sick and tired of hearing everyone complain
About their little troubles raining on their baseball game
It don't impress me, it don't impress me at all
Cause you can tell me about your troubles till you turn blue
The blues… no one's got em like I do

My doctor said I′m goin' down slow, what′s alin' me he don't know
I got a job but I′m still the working po′
He gave me one little pill and said "go"
Get some insurance, get some insurance, insurance, cause you're too young to die
I went to the office just to see, to find insurance to cover me
Most policies I can′t afford, it made an Atheist call on the Lord
Insurance, get some insurance, insurance, cause I'm too young to die
I read the fine print signed on the line, I hope I got enough to keep from dying
After all the questions and the third degree, it felt just like a colonoscopy
Insurance, get some insurance, insurance, cause I′m too young to die
I read in the paper, the other day, a man lost his spouce
She's pushing up daisys now he can′t pay the bills
And now he lost his house.
Insurance, get some insurance, insurance, cause you're too young to die
I went to the office with the plan, insurance card in my hand
He looked at it, and said to me
Pre-existing conditions come with a fee
Insurance, get some insurance, insurance, cause I'm too young to die
How much is asprin again doctor? That′s too much
I need a catscan dr but all I could afford is a kitten scan
I need three stitches, but all I could afford it two
Insurance, insurance, insurance

Well, he left here today about a quarter to four
By the look on his face he won't back no more
He walked off in a huff after we had a fight
I said something wrong I got to make it right
He doesn't understand, gotta do what I can
There goes my man
He doesn't understand, gotta do what I can
There goes my man
When I think of the joy his love brings
Makes me feel so alive my heart sings
I want to tell him that I love him, though I got to show it
It will be the end of my world as I know it
He doesn't understand, gotta do what I can
There goes my man
He doesn't understand, gotta do what I can
There goes my man
Friday night he hits the streets
It's so hot the pavement's cracking under his feet
You got every reason to be mad at me
Lord help me please
Tomorrow when he comes home
I'm gonna make love to him till the day is done
Give him everything he needs to rectify, rectify
He doesn't understand, gotta do what I can
There goes my man
He doesn't understand, gotta do what I can
There goes my man
Bye bye

I turn on the TV, turn it off put on the radio
Everyone's talking, all the troubles in the world
Commercials remind me, who's funding the drama
Put it off, turn on the stereo
We do what we can, we do what we must
But I need to remember
When I go walking, in the valley of the Ko'olaus
The smell of the ginger, and the guava on the ground
And when I go swimming, in the surf at Makapuu
I let it take me
And then I remember, then I remember
All the beauty in this world
Then I remember, then I remember
And when I am dinning, with my friends in the purple night
I love all the farmers, and the ones who make the wine
I love all the laughter, love all the stars up in the sky
Then I remember, then I remember
All the beauty in this world
When I listen to music and the song that makes you cry
Page after page, of a favorite book, I am in wonder
With a child's eye, I take it in, little blossoms falling down
And the tide of time, comes rushing in, while we linger on
I think of the painters, I think of the poets
I think of all the folks I've known
I think of the lovers I think of the lovers

If I jumped in the River
I bet you'd let me float away and drown
If I jumped in the River
I bet you'd let me float away and drown
You say you love me, But I never see you round
You're just Trouble baby
Swinging way up in a thistle tree
Trouble!
Swinging way up in a thistle tree
My trying to get to you, could tear me up in injury
Every time I see your face
My love life flashes before my eyes
Everytime I see your face
My love life flashes before my eyes
Your words are haunting baby
But all twisted up in lies
So goodbye baby
Goodbye heartburn and deception
So goodbye baby
Goodbye heartburn and deception
You learn something new every day
Today is no exception

When you went away I cried
Cried for so long
And I wanted you to stay
Ah but that was all wrong
The pain you left behind
Has become part of me
And it's burned out a hole
Where my love used to be
But it's not losing you
That's got me down so low
I just can't find another man
To take your place
Well you know I love you
But that wasn't enough
We both fell apart
When things got too tough
And I've learned how to give now
But what good
But what good would that do
No one can touch me
The way you used to do
And it's not losing you
That's got me down so low
I just can't find another man
To take your place
Well I know your opinion
Of me is not good
Please try to understand
That I'd change
Well I'd change if I could
And this coldness inside me
Well it's starting to build
And a woman can't be a woman
Unless she's fulfilled
But it's not losing you
That's got me down so low
I just can't find another man
To take your place
There's no one can

There were Penguins in the opera house
Minks and sable too
Pizzicatos popping round
Well hidden from our view
I asked the maestro chase them please
That sword in hand will do just fine
There were penguins in the opera house
And we were running out of time!
There were Penguins in the opera house
They were sitting on the stage
They were sawing on the violins
They only stopped to turn a page
The Maestro waved and swirled and twirled his sword so bravely
How well he knew his trade
But the penguins did not bat an eye
They were not at all afraid
The Maestro mad with anger
Slashed wildly at the air
But the snow birds just sawed harder, faster, as if he wasn't even there!
And when the crying violins began to scream
A sound I could not bear at all
I ran right up to save the day
Before they all were twiced by saw
The penguins dropped their weapons
The mink and sable shouted:
"Throw that mad man out at once!"
The maestro dropped his arms and pouted
Now I know you don't believe me
As I sit in padded cage
BUT! there WERE penguins in the opra house
I wonder
Who will wash the stage?
