lyrics

Have you ever wondered how
Vegemite on toast
Is pretty much the same as soy sauce on rice?
Or squid ink on pasta
Or pretty much anything salty on anything else starchy.

Or have you ever wondered what
The first person was thinking when
They saw an egg come out of a chicken?
And they thought to themselves
Mmmmm that looks good
I'm gonna eat that.

Or have you ever wondered what if
All those famous artists
Kept the names they were given
When they were born?
Elton John was Reg Dwight and
Sting was Gordon Sumner and
Nina Simone was Eunice Waymon

Have you ever wondered how
Once you see something change
You can't see it as the thing it was before?

Have you ever wondered how
Vegemite on Toast is
Pretty much the same as
Soy sauce on rice?
