Mental Floss

Lyrics by Jimmy Buffett

Music by Buffett, Kunkel, Guth, P.Mayer & J. Mayer

I'd like to be a jellyfish

'Cause jellyfish don't pay rent

They don't walk and they don't talk

With some Euro-trash accent

They're just simple protoplasm

Clear as cellophane

They ride the winds of fortune

Life without a brain

(Chorus)

In one ear and out the other

Don't you get criss-crossed

I recommend you try a little

Mental floss

It's the small, small problems

That keep me so upset

And send me seeking shelter

Beneath my mosquito net

I stay there for hours

Protected from the night

All those insects and vipers

And other things that bite

(Chorus)

I'd like to be a jellyfish

'Cause jellyfish don't pay rent

They don't walk and they don't talk

With some Euro-trash accent

They're just simple protoplasm

Clear as cellophane

They ride the winds of fortune

Life without a brain

(Chorus)

In one ear and out the other

Don't you get criss-crossed

I recommend you try a little

Mental floss
