No need to look for trouble,
it will find you on its own -
come and sit down right beside you
when you want to be alone.

Your phone will start to ringing
when your phone is off the hook.
And you know it's trouble calling,
you don't even have to look.

You can spend a lot of money,
you can buy a lot of stuff.
But to keep away from trouble,
you will never have enough.

You may sit at your piano,
start to picking out a song.
And it's trouble you hear humming,
then it starts to sing along.

There's a smell of something burning,
you don't know exactly where.
But your nose has started twitching -
there is trouble in the air.

You can cry out to your mama,
ask your daddy what to do.
They'll do all they can to help you,
but they have trouble too.

There are ways to deal with trouble,
three or four or six or ten.
And every time you finish,
it is time to start again.
