Put Your Big Toe In The Milk Of Human Kindness

Elvis Costello

Verse Put your big toe in the milk of human kindness Have you ever seen the like of this mankind? If a boy or girl is cute, we simply shoot to starry heights Any maybe, any might Verse But always so capricious, in the face of wonder we're suspicious And though we came from frogs and fishes Our taste is far from fine Put your big toe in the milk of human kindness Verse Put your big toe in the milk of human kindness Have you ever seen the like of this mankind? You take the Himalayas, you'll take Manhattan's finest mountain top He wouldn't change his whiskey sour for any bitter crop Verse But always so contrary, from father Christmas to the Virgin Mary And though the moments of belief Fly by before you find if you'd just unhand your mind Put your big toe in the milk of human kindness
