Mime In A Bottle

If I could save a mime in a bottle
I stick him in there until he turned blue
then make fun of him every way
until he was insane or turned gray
just to blame it all on you!

If I could make his sanity finally severe
if his cries became as thick as glue
I would treat them as gold, then
just to blame it all on you!

But there never seems to a isolated mime
to do all the crazy things I want to do
once I find him
I’ll check around to know
that’s he’s the one who has to go
through this misery rift

If I had an extra large box of dishes
and cream cakes with frosting like dew
the box would be empty
except for some leftover cutlery
over how I gave that mime his do!

But there never seems to a isolated mime
to do all the crazy things I want to do
once I find him
I’ll check around to know
that’s he’s the one who has to go
through this misery rift
