A Small Dark Cloud
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a fly in the ointment.
It's a speck of a fly,
but a fly nonetheless.
There's a fly in the ointment,
It's a speck of a fly,
but a fly nonetheless.
It's a picnic!
Dark cloud.
Fly in the ointment.
It's a picnic!
Put out the cloth on the ant hill.
It's a picnic!
Dark cloud.
Fly in the ointment.
What?
I see confusion -
It's a picnic!
I see confusion -
It's a picnic!
We'll sit around,
and sit around,
and wait.
Picnic time!
It's a picnic!
Don't rock the boat!
We'll sit around,
and sit around,
and wait.
