Don't Be Upset

Lyrics

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 crowded 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 'cause 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 headache, her ankle is hurting too
 The boots she bought gave her a rash and her wisdom tooth
 Is coming in and it's damp out and she's having cramps
 And she's so mad at me 'cause 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
 And I've only got rejection letters and a sense of impending doom
 And I think it's too late for me
 All the comic book 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
 And actually what she really said was
 All you ever wanna talk about is yourself
 And your comic books and your album and your tour
 And every time 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
