E
I once had a girl, she lived in the past
A E
It was clear that relationship wouldn't last
B
It was clear from the way she had to sleep south
A E
It was clear from the lines around her mouth
So I went for a walk in the ravine
A E
I came upon an unbelievable scene
B
In a tiny creek there's a tiny boat
A E
With a tiny man in a tiny coat
I said "Hey man, do you think you can help?"
A E
He said "Of course I can - I'm an elf
B
We're not just fictional device
A E
We sail ravines and give advice"
I said "My baby is what it's about"
A E
He cried "Helms a-lee, boy, I'm comin' about
B
Don't fill me in on right or wrong

E
His eyes were afire, he lit up a coal
A E
Handed me a ladle and a little white bowl
B
Put the pot on the fire, he opened a book
A E
And said "sit down, the thing's gotta cook"
"That's the loveliest pot I've ever seen"
A E
He said "it's not a pot, it's a tureen
B
And what's inside will make you well
A E
So ring this little dinner bell"
Then he giggled in french - that's what he did
A E
Like a kid at Christmas, as he opened the lid
B
"Help yourself" he beamed with pride
A E
But there was no sweet soup inside.
Silence fell on the cooling night
A E
I thought I better fake it just to be polite
B
Smallest friend, biggest moon
A E
Empty bowl, empty spoon.
