A foot in the street and a foot in the gutter
That’s one foot in the morning rain
Just round the corner, a hole full of water,
And hot dog, it’s a holiday
Splish splash in a pool of puddle,
Don’t trip up on a tidal wave
You’ll crash in a murky muddle
Then you’ll know how it feels
To know you’re not real
Went for a walk and I climbed up a tower
It seemed like a thousand years
’til I reached the top, oh, and I picked a flower
That grew through the stratosphere
Drop down to a cloud or jetstream
Don’t trip up on a weathervane
You’ll drown in a world or wet dream
Then you’ll know how it feels
To know you’re not real
I wrote a letter and I gave it to Jenny
I hoped for some return
Next time I saw her she gave me a penny
Wrapped up in a gummy worm
Run round in a field or meadow
Don’t trip up on a sugarcane
Fall down in a lazy shadow
Then you’ll know how it feels
To know you’re not real
