We read in all the papers of the things that may come
Someone may get mean enough
To drop an atom bomb
If one by chance should fall nearby
While you're sailin' through the sky
Just sit back, enjoy the ride, and bid the world goodbye
(Relax and take I easy)
(You know what I mean)
Don't be nervous, don't get excited
It may all turn out to be just a dream
If you should come home late some night and find a stranger there
Visiting your little wife, let on that you don't care
Don't blow your top and rant and rave, as a jealous husband would
She will say that you are wrong, that you misunderstood
(Relax and take it easy)
(You know what I mean)
Don't be nervous, don't get excited
It may all turn out to be just a dream
It you should wake up late some night and find your garage on fire
There's no reason you should try to save the family car
Just walk, don't run, and telefone to the fire insurance man
Easy your conscience, pray for rain, stand back and warm your hands
(Relax and take it easy)
(You know what I mean)
