What If The Hokey Pokey Is All It Really Is A

Jimmy Buffett

The universe is runnin' away

I heard it on the news just the other day

There's this new stuff called dark energy

We can't measure and we can't see

It's some elemental mystery

Train that we can't catch



But our heads are in the oven

And somebody's 'bout to strike a match



Meanwhile back on our big round ball

Things are getting serious as cholesterol

Permutations, calculations,

Greedy piggies at the trough

Arrogance and ignorance

Just to top it off

I just can't keep up with the Nasdaq

Who got sold and bought

I've got to take my lunch break

But I'll leave you with a little for thought



Maybe it's all too simple

For our brains to figure it out

What if the hokey pokey

Is all it really is about



What if life is just a cosmic joke

Like spiders in your underwear or olives in

your coke

My life can get as messy as a day old sticky bun

So I arm myself with punch lines and a big ol'

water gun

They say it's not that simple but just maybe it

should be

It's time to change the subject, would you join me

in a cup of herbal tea?



Maybe it's all too simple

For our brains to figure it out

What if the hokey pokey

Is all it really is about



I still believe in rock 'n' roll

It pays my bills and soothes my soul

There really really isn't

A whole lot more around

Except for Frank Sinatra and the Big

band sound

I want music in the music

I want chicken in the soup

I want caffeine in my system let's revive

the hula hoop



Maybe it's all too simple

For our brains to figure it out

What if the hokey pokey

Is all it really is about
