	Lyrics To make a long story short so as not to be a bore I was walking down the street the other day with a friend of mine you see His name is Ivan, Ivan Idea to be exact And Ivan, well, he has an imagination and a half We had ice cream, one bowl each Which we had every intention of eating at the very next opportunity But for reasons I'd rather not get into cause it's kind of a long story We had thrown our ice cream spoons way up in a tree And I said, "Ivan what are we gonna do now?" "How are we ever gonna get our spoons down?" "I've and idea", Ivan Idea said. "I've and idea rolling 'round my head. We could tie ourselves to a great big balloon And float up in the tree and get the spoons!" "Ivan, you are indeed an inspired individual But your intentions, though interesting are a bit implausible The only place balloons are found, anywhere for miles around Is the balloon factory and way across town" "Ivan could you please explain How will we get somewhere so far away?" "I've and idea", Ivan Idea said. "I've and idea rolling 'round my head. We could get a rhinoceros and ride on his back you see So we could make it across town to the balloon factory So we could tie ourselves to a great big balloon And float up in the tree and get the spoons!" "Ivan though I agree with you I've been thinking about what you propose to do, And I implore you have ignored an important point or two. Specifically those on a rhino's nose. I have to say my friend That I've heard they're big and mean and pointed at one end" "Ivan sounds awful dangerous. How will we ever catch a rhinoceros?" "I've and idea", Ivan Idea said. "I've and idea rolling 'round my head. We could get a mouse to chew through the telephone lines So we could take them down and weave a big net out of the wire So we could catch a rhinoceros and ride on his back you see So we could make it across town to the balloon factory So we could tie ourselves to a great big balloon And float up in the tree and get the spoons!" "Ivan I do not intend to be impolite But something about your plan doesn't seem quite right. Mice are not so tall you know, 2 or 3 inches at the most. And telephone lines tend to be way on tops of poles." "Ivan won't you tell me after all Where will we ever find a mouse so tall?" "I've and idea", Ivan Idea said. "I've and idea rolling 'round my head. We could get ourselves a gigantic hunk of cheese And feed it to a mouse so he'd grow tall as a tree So he could reach right up and chew through the telephone lines So we could take them down and weave a big net out of the wire So we could catch a rhinoceros and ride on his back you see So we could make it across town to the balloon factory So we could tie ourselves to a great big balloon And float up in the tree and get the spoons!" "Don't mean to imply your intellect is in any way inadequate But to find a piece of cheese so big indeed is infeasible I suspect Where will we get a dairy product so immense In a town like this where most of folks are lactose intolerant?" "Ivan won't you please tell me Where will we find a giant piece of cheese?" "I've and idea", Ivan Idea said. "I've and idea rolling 'round my head. We could sell our ice cream to make a little cash So we could buy a rocket ship and fly to the moon and back So we could get ourselves a gigantic hunk of cheese And feed it to a mouse so he'd grow tall as a tree So he could reach right up and chew through the telephone lines So we could take them down and weave a big net out of the wire So we could catch a rhinoceros and ride on his back you see So we could make it across town to the balloon factory So we could tie ourselves to a great big balloon And float up in the tree and get the spoons!" "To make a long story short, so as not to be a bore I was just killing time the other day with a friend of mine His name is Ivan, Ivan Idea to be exact And Ivan sometimes gets in over his head We we're just hanging out floating through the town We were trying to figure out how to get our feet back on the ground You see, for reasons that I'd rather not get into We were stuck up in the air tied to a great big balloon." And I said, "Ivan I will never guess How I let you talk me into this mess!"
