Hot Soup - Da Vinci's Notebook

You can whistle a tune, and buy a balloon

You can even eat a bagel with a silver spoon

But you can’t just eat hot soup with you’re bare hands

You can hang like a bat, and dance with your cat

You can even use your undies as a pirate’s hat

But you just can’t eat hot soup with you’re bare hands

So if you want to keep on top 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

You better concentrate on doin' the things you can

You can pickle a prune, rent a raccoon

Dig yourself a swimming 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,

take a barrel down Niagra Falls

The negative should not be dwelled on no sir, no

You better concentrate on doin' the things you can

(You the man!) Or the woman!

You just can’t eat hot soup with your bare hands

You just can’t eat hot soup

You just can’t eat hot soup

You just can’t eat hot soup

Oh, you just can’t eat hot soup with your bare hands!
