Put your big toe in the milk of human kindness

Have you ever seen the like of this mankind?

If a boy or girl is cute, we simply shoot to starry heights

Any maybe, any might


But always so capricious, in the face of wonder we're suspicious

And though we came from frogs and fishes

Our taste is far from fine

Put your big toe in the milk of human kindness


Put your big toe in the milk of human kindness

Have you ever seen the like of this mankind?

You take the Himalayas, you'll take Manhattan's finest mountain top

He wouldn't change his whiskey sour for any bitter crop


But always so contrary, from Father Christmas to the Virgin Mary

And though the moments of belief

Fly by before you find if you'd just unhand your mind

Put your big toe in the milk of human kindness


But always so contrary, from Father Christmas to the Virgin Mary

And though the moments of belief

Fly by before you find if you'd just unhand your mind

Put your big toe in the milk of human kindness
