Jimmy Buffett
Mental Floss
[Verse 1]
I'd like to be a jellyfish, 'cause jellyfish don't pay rent
They don't walk and they don't talk with some Euro-trash accent
They're just simple protoplasm, clear as cellophane
They ride the winds of fortune, life without a brain
[Chorus]
In one ear and out the other
Don't you get crisscrossed
I recommend you try a little mental floss
[Verse 2]
It's the small, small problems that keep me so upset
And send me seeking shelter beneath my mosquito net
I stay there for hours, protected from the nights
All those insects and vipers and other things that bite
[Chorus]
In one ear and out the other
Don't you get crisscrossed
I recommend you try a little mental floss
[Verse 1]
I'd like to be a jellyfish, 'cause jellyfish don't pay rent
They don't walk and they don't talk with some Euro-trash accent
They're just simple protoplasm, clear as cellophane
They ride the winds of fortune, life without a brain
[Chorus]
In one ear and out the other
Don't you get crisscrossed
I recommend you try a little mental floss
[Chorus]
It's in one ear and out the other
Don't you get crisscrossed
I recommend you try a little mental floss
[Outro]
Yeah, don't forget to floss every day
Mental!
