lyrics

Well, the sign says “lentil soup is now available”
But it’s been there for at least 11 months
And I wonder if maybe it’s time to change that stagnant sign,
Even if the change can’t happen all at once.

And the neon S-U-P-P at the pet store
Has burned out on their iridescent sign
And although right now the neon isn’t flowing anymore
Business seems to be doing just fine.

But these days I guess the business is changing,
Will they sell you any pet supply you wish?
No, apparently there’s no room left for truth in the aquarium,
‘Cause this store is only peddling lies & fish.

Perhaps the pet store's ethics need retooling
Unless you want some half-truths swimming in your tanks
But if you believe those fibs just have no place with your marine life,
You’re better off just telling them, “no thanks”.

But what has all this got to do with lentils?
Now the curiosity has gotten me.
I guess it’s just that I expect to find more truth in advertising
Whether it’s in stew or it’s under the sea.

Li-li-li Li-li-li Li-li-li Li Li-li-li Li-li-li Li - i
Li-li-li Li-li-li Li-li-li Li Li-li-li Li-li-li Li
