[MH]  Think.  Just think

What would happen if the world went on the blink.

If you heard your mother sayin', "Call the doctor double-quick.

I'm beside myself with worry.  Hope he gets here in the nick,

'Cause my daughter's lookin' healthy, and he's got to make her sick."

Oh, think.

[HW, MH]  Just think.

[HW]  Think.  Just think

What would happen if the world went rinky-dink.

If you had to take your groceries to the laundromat each day,

Where they'd bleach each English muffin, and they'd starch each fish fillet,

And for dinner you'd have drip-dry pie and soaps à consumé.

Oh, think.  Just think

[MH]  What would happen if the world were on the brink.

If you went one day to see the new rhinoceros at the zoo,

Where you saw too late the keeper was a well-dressed kangaroo,

When he put you in a cage and let the rhino stare at you.

Oh, think.

[HW, MH]  Just think.

Think.  Just think

What would happen if the world went down the sink.

[HW]  If you had to wear a raincoat to go swimming in the sea,

[MH]  Or you had to put on boxing gloves to trim the Christmas tree,

[HW, MH]  Or a monster mask while watching "The Electric Company".

Oh, think.  Just think

If they had to wear a monster mask while watching you and me.

Oh, think.  Just think.
