Buds Won't Bud

When your world goes to pieces overnight Something's wrong, very wrong When you don't know your left shoe from your right Something's wrong, very wrong When the clock sips tea And your head strikes three And you feel you're in a crazy dream Something's wrong with this entire scheme Buds won't bud Breeze won't breeze And dew won't dew One and one ain't even two When the love you love won't love you Buds won't bud Chicks won't chick And nicks won't nick Blue is white and white is black When the love you love won't love back On account there's no accounting When you can't bring your dream about All your troubles keep on mounting And the world is just a big blackout 'Cause buds won't bud Breeze won't breeze And dew won't dew One and one is thirty-two When the love you love won't love you Buds won't bud Breeze won't breeze And crow won't crow Eenie meenie's mine is moe When the love you love says heigh ho Buds won't bud Notes won't note And knots won't knot T's won't cross and I's won't dot When the hope you hope goes to pot On account there's no accounting Ever since you bowed out All my moods won't mood And my food won't food And my ties won't tie And my tears won't dry And to make things worse My heart is beating in reverse 'Cause buds won't bud And breeze won't breeze And dew won't dew C-O-D is IOU When the dream you dream And the scheme you scheme When the dream you dream won't come true
