I'm gonna sit right down and whittle away my furniture Well I'm gonna sit right down and whittle away my furniture It's a haunting world we live in, full of despair I ponder on man's great questions as I whittle away my chair I'm gonna sit right down and whittle away my furniture, It's the only thing for me to do I'm gonna sit right down and whittle away my furniture, Why don't you do it too? Seen a lot of problems in my lonely life Torment and psychosis, oh where'd I put my pocket knife? How can man be so oppressed if we are all born free? I sit alone and wonder, with shavings up to my knees There must be something that can be done for those of us that are able I'll get to the problem right away but first I'll get rid of my dining table
