Bubbles Lyrics
Chewing bubblegum and blowing big bubbles,
Getting getting rid rid of all of my troubles
Watching the temples gluba gluba, bubbles
Bubblegum panic keeps my heart from getting heavy and crying yeah,
Bubblegum panic keeps my heart from getting heavy and crying.
is my friend
The kid she has a little cold
Grammama is getting old
My tummy has a little ache
When does Jesus come again?
Chewing bubblegum and blowing big bubbles,
Getting getting rid rid of all of my troubles
Watching the temples gluba gluba, bubbles
Bubblegum panic keeps my heart from getting heavy and crying yeah,
Bubblegum panic keeps my heart from getting heavy and crying.
Chewing bubblegum and blowing big bubbles,
Getting getting rid rid of all of my troubles
Watching the temples gluba gluba, bubbles
Soap bubbles carrying my dreams up high
Soap bubbles carrying my dreams up high
Bubblegum panic keeps my heart from getting heavy and crying yeah
Bubblegum panic keeps my heart from getting heavy and crying
Bubblegum panic keeps my heart from getting heavy and crying yeah
I just want to edit the fourth line of the song. After listening to the song again it sounds more like "watching the tadpoles gluba gluba..." (I can't really tell if he's saying bubbles after that or not. It could be something else, he kind of mumbles a bit.) Also I couldn't really make out the name of the friend in the second verse.
Someone once told me this song had a kind of double entendre, but I don't get it. I think the song is pretty straight forward and is about getting rid of your troubles by chewing bubblegum.
Blowin’ bubbles outta the window Chewin’ bubblegum and blowin’ big bubbles Gettin’ gettin’ ridda ridda all my troubles, Watchin’ the tadpoles glubba, glubba in the puddles Soap bubbles carry my dreams up high Bubble gum kinda keeps my heart from gettin’ heavy and cryin’
Blowin’ bubbles outta the window Chewin’ bubblegum and blowin’ big bubbles Gettin’ gettin’ ridda ridda all my troubles, Watchin’ the tadpoles glubba, glubba in the puddles Soap bubbles carry my dreams up high Bubble gum kinda keeps my heart from gettin’ heavy and cryin’
Ma ‘n’ Pa are arguin’ again, today I lost my best friend The kitty has a little cold, ‘n ‘ grammama is getting older My tummy has a little pain, ‘n’ when does Jesus come again?

This is the genius of The Free Design: the song is all giddy and happy-sounding, but it's about the fears and worries that a person has when they are young. That's how adolescence is, outwardly fun, but inwardly difficult.
