    Buckets of  rain,           Buckets of  tears,      Got all them    buckets comin'
    I been meek                 and hard like an oak        I've seen pretty people
  I like your smile             and your fingertips         I like the way that
    Little red wagon,           little red bike,            I ain't no monkey
    Life is sad,                life is a bust,             all ya can do is

    out of my   ears.           Buckets of  moonbeams                       in          my
    disappear like smoke.       Friends will arrive,                        friends     will
    you move your lips.       I like the cool way                           you         look at
    but I know what I like.   I like the way                                you         love me
    do what you must.       You do what you must do                         and ya do it

        you can stand.
        here.
        misery.
        when I go.
