If only there were some way to shut out All this noise in my head Oh wait there already is It's called McCafferty's Bib I used to have eleven problems Then they all went away When I added one more Called McCafferty's Bib Now the gray, gray clouds Have arrived and the gray, gray clouds Have decided to stay with us from now on I ate the whole bottle of pills And wondered what I had swallowed And I saw that The label Said McCafferty's Bib And then all the scenery melted away And in back of it The only thing left Was McCafferty's Bib And the gray, gray clouds Have arrived and the gray, gray clouds Have decided to stay with us from now on In cities all over the world All the people are suddenly struck By the same idea They're massing in public squares And they're singing a note That rises from low to high With one hand they're holding up Signs of Bob Hope, in the other Hand, everyone's Waving McCafferty's Bib The toothpaste won't go back in the bottle Since it granted our wish And we will never be rid Of McCafferty's Bib
