Gravity Begins At Home by Ivor Cutler Lyrics

Peel your mother from off the ceiling
Set her down gently onto the floor
Scrape your father from off the ceiling
Set him up with a whisky or four

For gravity begins at home, my brother
Gravity begins at home

Pay no attention when apples fall up from trees
Pay no attention when elephants hover like wasps

For gravity begins at home, my brother
Gravity begins at home

Look at my auntie floating at the chandelier, the dear
Fetch her a ladder before she gets any madder

For gravity begins at home, my brother
Gravity begins at home

Pay no attention when octopi fly in the sky
Just keep your balance with Scotch, Irish, Bourbon and Rye
For gravity begins at home, my brother
Gravity begins at home, my sister
Gravity begins at home
