Hot Soup

You can whistle a tune

Buy a balloon

You can even eat a bagel with a silver spoon

But you just can't eat hot soup with your bare hands

You can hang like a bat

Dance with your cat

You can even use your undies as a pirate hat

But you just can't eat hot soup with your bare hands

So if you want to keep out of hot water

If you want to find yourself top dog in the catbird seat

Then don't you try to do what you ought not to

Better concentrate on doin' the things you can

You can pickle a prune

Rent a raccoon

Dig yourself a swimmin' pool with Sun Myung Moon

But you just can't eat hot soup with your bare hands

Give Edgar Winter a tan

Swim to Azerbaijan

Do "The Macarena" with the Wu-Tang Clan

But you just can't eat hot soup with your bare hands

So you don't play ball like Sammy Sosa

So you'll never fly to Toronto, rent a Miata, drive to the border, and go in a barrel down Niagra Falls

The negative should not be dwelt on, no sir

Better concentrate on doin' the things you can

(you the man!) (or the woman!)

And you just can't eat hot soup with your bare hands

Vegetable! Alphabet! Chicken noodle! Spaghettios!

Matzoh ball! Split pea! Minestrone! Tom Kha Gai!

Leeky leeky! Wonton! Gazpacho!

You just can't eat hot soup

You just can't eat hot soup

You just can't eat hot soup

You just can't eat hot soup

You just can't eat hot soup with your bare hands!
