lyrics

“Don’t You Know What They Say”

Intro

Verse
Don’t you know what they say: there’s plenty of fish in the sea.
But I say: the amount of fish has never been in question. I’m upset about losing a particular fish Karen. (backing vocal: yeah fuck you Karan)

The fact that there are many fish out there, only increases the odds that I’ll never find the right fish.

Verse 2
Don’t you know what they say: get a taste of your own medicine.
But I say: do you have any idea how dangerous it is to try other people’s medicine. You should only have your own…
It’s specifically prescribed, and medically advised, if you’re not careful you could literally die.

Verse 3
Don’t you know what they say: it’s not gay if it’s in a three-way. But I say: what if that three-way involves 3 guys? Cause surely then it’s very gay?

Which is totally okay. I just have questions about the rules.

Bridge
They say: don’t cry over spilled milk. But I say: what if you’re a milk man?
And they say: don't put all your eggs in one basket. But I say: that sounds inconvenient. What am I gonna do with all these baskets?
You may be thinkin: Tim! The eggs aren't literal, stop being pedantic about things so trivial. You should take these expressions with a grain of salt.

But to that I say: why would I use a singular grain of salt. Let’s face it, I won’t even taste it.

Chorus
Don’t you know what they say.
