E      A     C       E
At the plate staring and
     D         F          A
He's left with so much on the side
F           A
If it comes alive
Bb         F      C        G
Shift with spoony fork and knife
Bb        F         D       A    C
Break it, walk, safety away from strife

E        A  C    E       D
Kind and cutlery finds a pea
    F              A
And punctures with a hole
F          A      Bb
All the dinners roll
  F      C      G        Bb        F
Into the safety bowl for feasts of reason
D            A  C
And the flow of soul

E        C    E     F  A  F  A
Bins the bowl as he says
Bb          F     C      F
"Falsehoods and a man of straw
   Bb     F       D        A   C
Is all my eye and Betty Martin saw!"
