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
