i took my darling out to the aquarium   sea creatures stared at us and we stared back at them   my baby freaked when she peeked at that 8-legged blob with a beak   she was too scared to speak   i said don't be upset it's only an octopus   don't bother it and i'm sure it won't bother us   please don't be upset my darling, please don't get upset   my baby came riding to meet me one time   on the crowed last car of the downtown-bound 9   she was brave but she caved   when the train was delayed   it was just the last straw in her hard busy day   i said don't get upset 'cuz it's not a catastrophe   nothing will happen and soon you'll be back with me   please don't be upset my darling , please don't be upset   my gal's got a headhache, her ankle is hurting too   boots she bought gave her a rash & her winsdom tooth   is coming in and it's damp out and she's having cramps and she's so mad at me cuz i didn't shave   i said don't be upset i know you're feeling sensitive   i'll try to be kinder and be more attentive   please don't be upset my darling please don't get upset   darling i said, i'm gonna be 27 soon   i've only got rejection letters and a sense of impending doom   i think it's too late for me   all the comic companies hate me   and i try but it's always the same   i guess my art is just lame and it's strange but still somehow i'm   always not suiting their needs at this time   and she said ........don't be upset,   you know that you're wonderful   just keep on trying ...(actually what she really said was)   all you ever wanna talk about is your self and your comic books and your album and your tour   and everytime i see your friends they just ask me where you are again and it hurts   it makes me feel like dirt   i'm just gonna write where you are on my shirt   and i said don't be upset, don't be in a bad mood   let's just go to a show and hang out and feel good   come on please don't be upset my darling, please don't be upset, i'll do anything baby, just don't be upset .
