Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water
Hundreds of bloodthirsty nightmares have made you their prey
You felt good and plucky, as nice as can be
But no one's that lucky, so listen to me
When life is not so nice, remember this advice
Put a drop of vanilla behind each ear
And you'll smell like a cookie all day
Yes, you'll smell like a cookie all day
I used to feel like my world was a bucket of sorrow
A mountain of sadness
A miserable wilted bouqet
A big rotten pumpkin
I wished I were dead
And I'd almost jumped, when it popped in my head
The key to happiness is merely only this
Put a drop of vanilla behind each ear
And you'll smell like a cookie all day
Yes, you'll smell like a cookie all day
We wander aimlessly for God knows how many miles and then we die
So very clueless to the truth, so very blind, unsatisfied
If only the human race would wake the hell up and finally understand
Exactly what it needs to do to meet the spirit's silent demand
They say it's human nature, wars will be fought and innocents will be killed
And every soul we lose is yet another mission unfulfilled
Meanwhile it seems like I'm the only living person who knows
Exactly how the story goes
The answer's right in front of our nose
My friend, humanity, stop this insanity
Put a drop of vanilla behind each ear
And you'll smell like a cookie all day
Yes, you'll smell like a cookie all day
