"Song Of Foot" lyrics - ANDREW BIRD

Sometimes when I am worth it
And my mind doesn't have my best interests in mind
Doesn't have my best interests in mind
To times like these that my feet, they speak and sing
'Cause they do so better than can my hand

'Cause when I play any regular sort of tune
Like a scherzo or a waltz or a jig or aria
Or settings on bibe or polka
My feet will have nothing to do, it's a proper time
No, my feet will have nothing to do, it's a proper time

Times when I am worth it
And my mind doesn't have my best interests in mind
Doesn't have my best interests in mind
To times like these that my feet, they speak and sing
'Cause they do so better than can my hand

Let them speak their heady opinions though
And you'll hear oil and butter, oil and butter
Lots of oil and some butter, oil and butter
