This Is Ponderous

This is ponderous, man

Really ponderous

I had this dream the other night

I went to work one day

And nobody remembered who I was

So, I decided to take the day off

On my way out

I run into my boss and he says

"Hey, you look familiar"

I said, "Thanks

People say that a lot in these dreams"

Then the horns kicked in

And my shoes started to squeak

Then all of a sudden

I'm standing on a beach in some tropical part of the world

And there's this sign that says

"Aren't you supposed to be at work?"

(Aha ha ha ha ha)

Sort of screamed out at me

(Aah!)

Then I remembered

I'd been here in other dreams

But usually there was a water polo game

And a girl who could talk with her eyes

And she'd say

"Can you see what I'm saying?"

Then the horn kicked in

And my shoes started to squeak

Before I knew it

I was walking near a lake (lake)

When a phone rings

And the operator speaks to me

In a language I don't understand

"Oom papachucka maka nanu singow

Jing kapalana wani domo chingpow

Heddy kapalua cuma jenising tea

Oomama chucka pana one is now three"

Then the horns kicked in

And my shoes started to squeak

Before long

I was coming up on this really weird part of my dream

You know

The part where I know how to tap dance

But I can only do it while wearing golf shoes

Now, I'm back on the beach

Walking with this girl who talks with her eyes

This time she says

"I think you see what I'm saying"

Then just before I woke up

It started to rain in Southern California

"Oom papachucka maka nanu singow

Jing kapalana wani domo chingpow

Heddy kapalua cuma jenising tea

Oomama chucka pana one is now three"

A girl who could talk with her eyes

"Can you see what I'm saying?"

"Aren't you supposed to be at work?"

(Aha ha ha ha ha)

This is ponderous, man

Really ponderous

(Ooh)
