You yelled hey!
When your car wouldnt start
You got real nervous
And started to eat your heart out
Youre so fat your shoes dont fit on your feet
Youve got trouble
And its tailor made
Mama, lay your head down in the shade

Chorus:

Cause your eyes are tired
And your feet are to
You wish the world was as tired as you
Well Ill write a letter
And Ill send it away
Put all the trouble in it youve had today

Well your telephone rang
And you yelled no!
Well you forgot about this and you forgot about that
Got to get back to what youre doing
Goodbye, quit that, so and so
Youre an island and on your own

And you yelled hey!
When the stove blew up
Upset? why yes
The footprints on your ceiling are almost gone
And youre wonderin why
Mama lay your head down
Now dont you cry
