Sinkin' Soon Lyrics - Norah Jones

1 We're an oyster cracker on the stew

2 And the honey in the tea

3 We're the sugar cubes, one lump or two

4 In the black coffee

5 The golden crust on an apple pie

6 That shines in the sun at noon

7 We're a wheel of cheese high in the sky

8 But we're gonna be sinkin' soon

9 In a boat that's built of sticks and hay

10 We drifted from the shore

11 With a captain who's too proud to say

12 That he dropped the oar

13 A tiny hole has sprung a leak

14 In this cheap pontoon

15 Now the hull has started growing weak

16 And we're gonna be sinkin' soon

17 We're gonna be

18 Sinkin' soon

19 We're gonna be

20 Sinkin' soon

21 Everybody hold your breath 'cause

22 We're gonna be sinkin' soon

23 We're gonna be

24 Sinkin' soon

25 We're gonna be

26 Sinkin' soon

27 Everybody hold your breath 'cause

28 Down and down we go...

29 Like the oyster cracker on the stew

30 The honey in the tea

31 The sugar cubes, one lump or two?

32 No thank you, none for me

33 We're the golden crust on the apple pie

34 That shines in the sun at noon

35 Like the wheel of cheese high in the sky

36 Well... we're gonna be sinkin' soon
