lyrics

You've met me on your darkest day
I've seen a shrimp swallow up a whale
Some things don't come easy
Some easy things are hard
Don't hit the road if you can't break down
Over and over and over
One more time again

Now you're hummin'
You're hummin'

I'm glad you sat down next to me
I'm glad there's a next to me at all
And I know what you're thinking
Is there any jelly in a jelly bean?
No there ain't and there never was
Some things are just a name
My name is shrimp and your name is whale
And this is the end of the end of the line for you

Now you're hummin'
You're hummin'
