lyrics

There's an itty bitty buddha in a glassy case
An itty bitty buddha with a peaceful face
Maybe I should buy it to evoke some calm and quiet
When I set it in a high and righteous place

Will an itty bitty buddha show me how to be
Accepting of my fate of mediocrity?
Maybe meditation would improve my situation
And could fill me with elation, not ennui

'Cause I need to unlearn my way
Find another course to stay or stray
Wind up like a child at play every day
Oh bodhisattva teach the way

That gives me inner wealth
To live in mental health
And choose to be myself
By loosing sense of self
Oh itty bitty buddha show me how
So I can be a great big buddha now

I need to unlearn my way
Find another course to stay or stray
Wind up like a child at play every day
Oh bodhisattva teach the way

That gives me inner wealth
To live in mental health
And choose to be myself
By loosing sense of self
Oh itty bitty buddha show me how
So I can be a great big buddha now

Right now!
