[Intro]
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
[Verse 1]
You can whistle a tune, and buy a balloon
You can even eat a bagel with a silver spoon
But you just can't eat hot soup with your bare hands
You can hang like a bat, and dance with your cat
You can even use your undies as a pirate's hat
But you just can't eat hot soup with your bare hands
[Chorus 1]
So if you want to keep out of hot water
If you want to find yourself top dog in the catbird seat
Then don't you try to do what you ought not to
You better concentrate on a-doin' the things you can, mm-mm
[Scat Solo]
[Verse 2]
Mm, you can pickle a prune, or rent a raccoon
Or dig yourself a swimmin' pool with Sun Myung Moon
But you just can't eat hot soup with your bare hands
Give Edgar Winter a tan, swim to Azerbaijan
Or do "The Macarena" with the Wu-Tang Clan
But you just can't eat hot soup with your bare hands, oh, oh
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
[Verse 1]
You can whistle a tune, and buy a balloon
You can even eat a bagel with a silver spoon
But you just can't eat hot soup with your bare hands
You can hang like a bat, and dance with your cat
You can even use your undies as a pirate's hat
But you just can't eat hot soup with your bare hands
[Chorus 1]
So if you want to keep out of hot water
If you want to find yourself top dog in the catbird seat
Then don't you try to do what you ought not to
You better concentrate on a-doin' the things you can, mm-mm

But you just can't eat hot soup with your bare hands, oh, oh
