Put Your Big Toe In The Milk Of Human Kindness Lyrics - Elvis Costello

Put your big toe in the milk of human kindness 

Have you ever seen the like of this mankind? 

If a boy or girl is cute, we simply shoot to starry heights 

Any maybe, any might 

But always so capricious 

In the face of wonder we're suspicious 

And though we came from frogs and fishes 

Our taste is far from fine 

Put your big toe in the milk of human kindness 

Put your big toe in the milk of human kindness 

Have you ever seen the like of this mankind? 

If a boy or girl is cute, we simply shoot to starry heights 

Any maybe, any might

But always so capricious 

In the face of wonder we're suspicious 

And though we came from frogs and fishes 

Our taste is far from fine 

Put your big toe in the milk of human kindness 

Put your big toe in the milk of human kindness 

Have you ever seen the like of this mankind? 

You take the Himalayas, I'll take Manhattan's finest mountain top 

He wouldn't change his whiskey sour for any bitter crop 

But always so contrary 

From Father Christmas to the Virgin Mary 

And though the moments of belief 

Fly by before you find if you'd just unhand your mind 

Put your big toe in the milk of human kindness

But always so contrary, from Father Christmas to the Virgin Mary 

And though the moments of belief 

Fly by before you find if you'd just unhand your mind 

Put your big toe in the milk of human kindness
