Hot Soup Songtext
von 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
Vegetable
(Vegetable!)
Alphabet
(Alphabet!)
Chicken noodle
(Chicken noodle!)
Spaghettio
(That ain't soup!)
Matzoh ball
(Matzoh ball!)
Split pea
(No soup for you!)
Minestrone
(Minestrone!)
Tom Khai Gai
(That soup's hot!)
Leeky Leeky
(Leeky Leeky!)
Wonton
(Wonton!)
Gazpacho
(You can do that!)
Oh, you just can′t eat hot soup
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!
