Woke this morning and I couldn't tell
Where in this world I could be
My head was ringing like a boney bell
And low on memory
Ooh, what to do?
Was I in Jackson or Kathmandu?
Oh, how to know?
I saw a stranger and I said, "Hey, where are we?"
He said, "Shingy Shoo, Shingy Shoo
Shama lama sonne see ay
Shingy Shoo, Shingy Shoo
Shama lama sonne see ay"
Running to dinner and I can't be late
My family's fricassee
I got no watch on and that's not so great
For punctuality
In front of me, suddenly
My neighbor struggling with groceries
I had a plan to help that man
And then ask him, "Would you please tell the time to me?"
He said, "Shingy Shoo, Shingy Shoo
Shama lama sonne see ay
Shingy Shoo, Shingy Shoo
Shama lama sonne see ay"
Looked through a telescope the other night
Learning astronomy
I saw a planet that I'd never seen
Such an anomaly
I asked the doc with the crazy hair
"What is the name of the thing up there?"
Solemnly, he looked at me
And said, "Let me tell you something, buddy bee"
He said, "Shingy Shoo, Shingy Shoo
Shama lama sonne see ay
Shingy Shoo, Shingy Shoo
Shama lama sonne see ay"
Shingy Shoo, Shingy Shoo
Shama lama sonne see ay
Shingy Shoo, Shingy Shoo
Shama lama sonne
Shama lama sonne
Shama lama sonne see ay
