When you are not looking
Missing items can be found
On top of the car or bookcase
Or lying on the ground
The shoes beneath under the bed
Or the glasses on your head
Or underneath your chair
When you've looked everywhere
The key's under the mat
The credit card inside your hat
The doorkey in your pocket
Outside the door - you forgot to lock it
Your dinner in the picnic basket
Everything's in the right place
Probably where you left it
Your wet swimsuit's in your suitcase
Your wet swimsuit's full of mould
Insects are fighting in the flour
I know the clock's here somewhere
'cos it's chiming every hour
You accuse me of taking it
You have looked from left to right
I suspect you of breaking it
It's there! Hiding in plain sight!
Problems hadn't gone away
But I solve them everyday
If you don't put things away
They're where you left them yesterday
