about

A song about over committment. And avocados.

lyrics

Avocado Song

Job and household, obligations
Take my time and try my patience
Still I jump at every task
I volunteer before you even ask

You invite me to a party?
I can make snacks, sweet or hearty
Decorate the room for you?
I´ll help you pack the special gift bags, too!

Cause I have a dozen hands and my day has extra hours
And eating avocados surely gives me super powers
I whirl and twirl and sing a happy tune
I think that I won´t need a break too soon


Fever shivers, brain like cotton
Honestly I feel quite rotten
Still I carry me to work
Because my brain is definitely a jerk

If I stayed home I´d thought me lazy,
Now my colleagues call me crazy
And a bio hazard too –
I would say the same if it was you

But I have a dozen hands and my day has extra hours
And eating avocados surely gives me super powers
I whirl and twirl and sing a happy tune
And promise I will take a break quite soon

Vacation time, I am so tired
Rest and sleep are much desired
But I have so much to do
And not much time in which to see it through

I hop to, if only slowly
In the name of all that´s holy
How did I fall into this trap?
When all I really wanted was a nap!

Because I have just two hands and my day no extra hours
Not even avocados can give me super powers
To whirl and twirl and sing a happy tune
I promise I will take a break-
I fear that I will break my neck
If I don´t really take a break quite soon!
