This Is Ponderous

This is ponderous, man

Really ponderous

I had this dream the other night

I went to work one day

And nobody remembered who I was

So, I decided to take the day off

On my way out

I run into my boss and he says

Hey, you look familiar

I said, thanks, people say that

A lot in these dreams

Then the horns kicked in

And my shoes started to squeak

Then all of a sudden

I'm standing on a beach

In some tropical part of the world

And there's this sign that says

Aren't you supposed to be at work

Sort of screamed out at me

Then I remembered

I'd been here in other dreams

But usually there was a water polo game

And a girl who could talk with her eyes

And she'd say

Can you see what I'm saying

Then the horn kicked in

And my shoes started to squeak

Before I knew it

I was walking near a lake

When a phone rings

And the operator speaks to me

In a language I don't understand

Oom papachucka maka nanu singow

Meling kapalana wani domo chingpow

Heddy kapalua cuma jenising tea

Oomama chucka pana one is now three

Then the horns kicked in

And my shoes started to squeak

Before long, I was coming up

On this really weird part of my dream

You know, the part where

I know how to tap dance

But I can only do it

While wearing golf shoes

Now, I'm back on the beach

Walking with this girl

Who talks with her eyes

This time she says

I think you see what I'm saying

Then just before I woke up

It started to rain in Southern California

Oom papachucka maka nanu singow

Meling kapalana wani domo chingpow

Heddy kapalua cuma jenising tea

Oomama chucka pana one is now three

A girl who could talk with her eyes

Can you see what I'm saying

Aren't you supposed to be at work

This is ponderous, man

Really ponderous (ooh)
