Song Lyrics

Tell it to a bear, judgin' at a fair
Tell it to the leader of a 'cause
Tell it to the mayor, sittin' in a chair
Tell it to a jolly Santa Claus

Tell it to a fool, makin' up a rule
Tell it to a rabbit in a tree
Tell it to a mule, swimmin' in a pool
Tell it to a bubble in the sea

But don't tell me about your troubles
Don't tell me about your tears
Don't tell me about the worries that you know
'Cause I'm packing up my heartaches in your suitcase, honey dear
And I'm gonna feel much better when you're gone

Tell it to a frog, settin' on a log
Tell it to a berry in a pie
Tell it to a dog, barkin' at a hog
Tell it to a birdie in the sky

Tell it to a goat, ridin' in a boat
Tell it to a drummer in a band
Tell it to a shoat, swimmin' in a moat
Tell it to a pebble in the sand

But don't tell me about your troubles
Don't tell me about your tears
Don't tell me about the worries that you know
'Cause I'm packing up my heartaches in your suitcase, honey dear
And I'm gonna feel much better when you're gone
