My Mind Keeps Movin' Lyrics - Shel Silverstein

Walk into a restaurant with chicken on my mind 

Look at the menu I want roastbeaf and wine 

A waitress comes up I order baked beans and bread 

Oh when she brings it I want ham'n eggs instead 

Because my mind keeps a movin' bouncin' and a groovin' 

A flippin' floppin' every whichaway 

From minute to minute if my mind ain't really in it 

Never know just what I'm do or say 

Sometimes I wake up happy sometimes I wake up mean 

Sometimes I wake up missin' somethin' I ain't seen 

Might wake up wasted and I might wake up dead 

Might wake up and look around and jump back into bed 

Because my mind keeps a movin'... 

[ guitar ] 

Sittin' home at midnight thinkin' bout Marie go to the phone I dial Carol Lee 

I say come by babe just as fast as you can 

And when she gets there I'm thinkin' bout Ann 

Because my mind keeps a movin'... 

Fly off to Paris just to get away from home 

Get off in London and I grab a boat for Rome 

Got to St Louis be in St Paul or else take a trip and go no place at all 

Because my mind keeps a movin'... 

I go to a psychiatrist to straighten my head 

Then I decide I need a chiropractor instead 

Put salt in my coffee and ketchup in my tea only dig a chick that don't dig me 

Because my mind keeps a movin'...
