Wooden Spoon Lyrics by The Poets

Wooden Spoon: The Singles Anthology 1964-1967

1967

Wooden spoon
Gotta lose it soon
Hey hey hey
I wake up and it's raining
Everybody sees the sun
Where or when, it's got to work
My baby I've got to run, huh huh huh
I'm a running in a mournful rat race
Until I fall down right on my face
Wooden spoon
Gotta lose it soon
Hey hey hey
My working week is a seven days
And other people buy
They live in stately houses
While I fight to stay alive, huh huh huh
I'm a running in a mournful rat race
Until I fall down right on my face
Wooden spoon
Gotta lose it soon
Say hey hey hey, alright brother
I've gotta lose it soon, yeah yeah
I've gotta lose it before I fall
Ain't no use in livin' with it, ma mama
I've gotta lose it soon, alright
Wooden spoon
Gotta lose it soon
Hey hey hey
Existence is a word
Holds me up, I can't know why
This cloud of degradation
Always hangs above my mind
I'm dealin' in this mournful rat race
Tired down here, right on my face
Wooden spoon
Gotta lose it soon
Hey hey hey, yeah
I've gotta lose it soon
Tell me wooden spoon, yeah
Your breaking me up without your wooden spoon
I've gotta lose it soon...
