Some Friendly Advice by The Swirling Eddies Lyrics
[Intro]
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
[Verse 1]
Bake a cake, swim a lake
Do a jig, slop a pig
Say a prayer, cut your hair
Smell a rose, pick your nose
Take a trip, write a script
Take a course, eat a horse
Take a nap, draw a map
Do your duty, shake your booty
[Chorus]
Something that you wouldn't ordinarily do
Something just a little bit different for you
Like forgiving a friend and an enemy too
You'll feel better, you'll feel better
When your little day is through
[Verse 2]
Smoke a cigar, drive a sports car
Read the good book, try a sky hook
Call your mother, kiss your father
Tell 'em you love 'em, clean your oven
Get up early, do a curly
Feed the hungry, spend some money
Feel the breeze, cut the cheese
Chicken walk, smile at a cop
[Chorus]
Something that you wouldn't ordinarily do
Something just a little bit different for you
Like forgiving a friend and an enemy too
You'll feel better, you'll feel better
When your little day is through
[Verse 3]
See a show, dig a hole
Fly a kite, take a hike
Twiddle your thumbs, scratch your buns
Make a face, run in place
Play some pool, go back to school
Drink a beer, pierce your ear
Abstain from sex and cigarettes
Go out to eat, soak your feet
Make a mud pie, greet a fat guy
Floss your teeth, keep the peace
[Chorus]
Something that you wouldn't ordinarily do
Something just a little bit different for you
Like forgiving a friend and an enemy too
You'll feel better
[Bridge]
Write yourself a note that says, "Be of good cheer"
(La la la la la la la la)
(La la la la la la la la)
Paint yourself a sign that says, "The beginning is near"
(La la la la la la la la)
[Verse 4]
Wash your dog, burn a log
Visit a widow, fluff your pillow
Paint a picture, clean your dentures
Learn to surf, go to church
Have a picnic, buy a quick-pick
Join a carpool, drink a yahoo
Play monopoly, eat some broccoli
Take a bath, scratch a rash
Knit a sweater, write a letter
Roll downhill, make a will
Flick your bic, call in sick
Keep a vow, milk a cow
Start a business, make a wish list
Beat a drum, suck your thumb
Go to confession, learn a lesson
Visit a zoo, pack a mule
Go to Sears, cry some tears
Give stuff away, act in a play
Plant a tree, work for free
Join a club, save your stub
Visit a jail, read your mail
TP a house, turn-on your spouse
Plant potatoes, pick tomatoes
Sleep in late, lose some weight
Make up a dance, take a chance
Walk around nude, play with your food
Get baptized, go skydive
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
