You can't be kissing and talking
You can't be jiving and rocking
Only one thing at a time
You can't be eating and smoking
You can't be crying and joking
You can't be breathing and choking
Only one thing at a time
You can't be standing and crawling
You can't be crouching and sprawling
You can't be casting and trawling
Only one thing at a time
You can't be sleeping and waking
You can't be stood still and shaking
You can't be healthy and aching
Only one thing at a time
You can't be short and tall
You can't be large and small
You can't be bat and ball
Only one thing at a time
