Before I get 2-D.
Before I get too deep.
Before I’m Judge Judy
Before I get too deep
Bill Cosby
Who's talking on the cereal box
Philosophy
Is the talk on the cereal box
Church meets in the shallow waters
Before I get too deek
Choke me in the shallow waters
Before I get too deep.
Drove me in the Chevy truck
Choke me in the shallow water
Drown me in the shallow water, before I get too deep.
Choke me in the shallow water, before I get too deep.
I'm not-a wearin' too many things.
I'm not aware of too many things.
Jeopardy! in the shallow hall
Choke me in the shallow water
Jump me in the shallow waters.
Choke me in the shallow waters.
Philosophy is a dog-gone cereal box.
Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box.
Philosophy is the dog on a cereal box
Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box.
Push me in the shallow waters
Before I get to sleep
Choke me in the shallow waters
Before I get too deep
Religion is a lie and a fall.
Religion is a light in the fog.
Tin Tin Out and Emma Bunton's, "What I Am"
Religion is the smile on a doll.
or
Religion is the smile on a door.
Religion is the smile on a dog.
Religion is the smile on a dork
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean, do you
Chuck me in the shallow waters
Before I get too deep
What I am is what I am
You wish you are a what?
Religion is the smile on a dog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean, d-doo yeah
Choke me in the shallow waters
Before I get too deep
What I am is what I am
You're what you are or what?
Shout, 'Me!' in the shallow waters, before I get too deep
or
Shock me in the shallow waters, before I get too deep
or
Joke me in the shallow waters before I get too deep.
Choke me in the shallow waters, before I get too deep.
Shove me in shallow water, before I get too deep.
Choke me in the shallow waters, before I get too deep.
Shove me in the shallow waters
Before I get too deep.
Choke me in the shallow waters
Before I get too deep.
Shove me in the shallow waters
Choke me in the shallow waters.
Show me in the shallow waters
Choke me in the shallow waters
Shut me in the shallow water
Shove me in the shallow water
Slippery locks
Slippery rocks
Toke me in the shallow water
Before you get to me
Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep
