To-Do List

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Wash all the pots and linens Find a psychoanalyst Go the bank and deposit checks Sweep up the shattered dish Return everything that I've borrowed Change all the bloody gauze Buy a spinach colored dinner jacket Defy all natural laws [Chorus] Ooh oh oh, cancel "Better Homes and Gardens" Ooh oh oh, admire gothic arches [Verse 2] Become a lot more happy Build a maze of Styrofoam Befriend an unfortunate lunatic Wail on a saxophone Walk down the road into darkness Fall in an orchestra pit Have an affair in the provinces Bring flowers to thе sick [Chorus] Ooh oh oh, find out what's killing the bees Ooh oh oh, proclaim a lasting peace [Verse 3] Opеn the blinds, let the light in Stand in the amorous rays Rise up in the name of liberty Throw out my fascist berets Purchase balloons for the ballroom Buy some asparagus Buy a harmonium and powdered wig Buy after dinner mints [Chorus] Ooh oh oh, buy head cheese and hock of ham Ooh oh oh, become a family man [Verse 4] Finish "The Wealth of Nations" Discover a miracle drug Learn all supreme court justices' names And test the limits of love Acquire more guilty pleasures Sit and watch as the plague goes by Wash the hot fry stains from my hands And laugh until I cry [Chorus] Ooh oh oh, throw out all the songs I wrote Ooh oh oh, and buy a buckskin coat (woo!) [Outro] *instrumental*
