Waist of Thyme
Upbeat indie pop song with bright guitars and energetic drums at a moderate tempo. Vocal delivery is conversational and natural, not rushed. Verses are joke delivery with clear pacing—give each punchline room to land. Tags are punchy one-liners with slight emphasis. Bridge is slightly more narrative. Outro fades with quick jokes. Keep energy high but allow breathing room between jokes so they don't blur together. Catchy, fun, slightly absurd vibe without feeling frantic.

Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
I told my wife she draws her eyebrows too high
She looked surprised.
I'm reading books about anti-gravity
Can't put them down.
[Tag]
I used to hate facial hair
Then it grew on me.
[Verse 2]
I used to play piano by ear
Now I use my hands.
The hipster burned his mouth
Ate his pizza before it was cool.
[Tag]
I tried to make a belt out of herbs
It was a waist of thyme.
[Bridge]
I told my boss three companies were after me
So I needed a raise.
He asked which ones.
Gas, electric, and cable.
[Verse 3]
Why did the scarecrow win an award?
He was outstanding in his field.
Why don't scientists trust atoms?
Because they make up everything.
[Tag]
I asked the librarian for books about paranoia
She whispered, 'They're right behind you'
[Outro]
What's orange and sounds like a parrot?
A carrot.
I tried to catch fog yesterday
Mist...
