lyrics

This bottle's made of glass
Its shape is smooth and round
These hands are made of clay
They're gonna let that Genie out
It's just easier to pick it up
Than it is to put it down

Me, I don't like working much
It don't agree with me somehow
But I love to play this guitar
I love that deep and hollow sound
It's just easier to pick it up
Than it is to put it down

If I could sleep forever
I might lay my body down
But all my dreams just fade away
And leave me hanging 'round

And I see sweet Coretta coming
Coming for to carry me down
She's looking good but I know
She spreads her love all over town
She says its easier to pick it up
Than it is to put it down

This bottle's made of glass
Its shape is smooth and round
These hands are made of clay
They're gonna let that Genie out
It's just easier to pick it up
Than it is to put it down
