The Who - Cache Cache Lyrics

Did you ever sleep in a bear pit
Did you ever sleep in a bear pit
With apple cores and mice along
With apple cores and mice along?
Did you ever lay on ice and grit
Did you ever lay on ice and grit
Or search for a place where the wind was gone
Or search for a place where the wind was gone?

Did you ever tramp up endless hills
Did you ever tramp up endless hills
Past cozy homes with secret beds
Past cozy homes with secret beds?
Did you ever dream of a suicide pill
Did you ever dream of a suicide pill
And wake up cold to the smell of bread
And wake up cold to the smell of bread?

Well, I have slept there badly twice
Well, I have slept there badly twice
And shared my straw with scratchin' mice
And shared my straw with scratchin' mice
Although you'll find some deep brown hair
Although you'll find some deep brown hair
I'll tell you something for nothing
I'll tell you something for nothing
There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)
There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)
Not a single bear in there (cache, cache)
Not a single bear in there (cache, cache)

Did you ever have to make a draw
Did you ever have to make a draw
For a hard wooden bench or a bed of stone
For a hard wooden bench or a bed of stone?
Did you ever jemmy a stable door
Did you ever jemmy a stable door
Or scare the horse to escape the snow
Or scare the horse to escape the snow?

Did you ever invade a neat little yard
Did you ever invade a neat little yard
Wake up the children who hope for ghosts
Wake up the children who hope for ghosts?
Did you ever cause their dogs to bark
Did you ever cause their dogs to bark
Their guests to curse their noisy hosts
Their guests to curse their noisy hosts?

Don't jump in expectin' fun
Don't jump in expectin' fun
Don't swagger in there with your elephant gun
Don't swagger in there with your elephant gun
Don't enter the cage with wavin' chairs
Don't enter the cage with wavin' chairs
'Cause I'll tell you something for nothing
'Cause I'll tell you something for nothing
There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)
There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)
Not a single bear in there (cache, cache)
Not a single bear in there (cache, cache)

Did you ever pass the police at work
Did you ever pass the police at work
And hope that they might take you in
And hope that they might take you in?
Did you ever wonder why music hurts
Did you ever wonder why music hurts
When someone plays it aloof to sin
When someone plays it aloof to sin?
Did you ever believe that a smile could cure
Did you ever believe that a smile could cure
A happy face, keep you warm at night
A happy face, keep you warm at night?
Were you ever fooled by laughter's lure
Were you ever fooled by laughter's lure
Only to find that they laughed in spite
Only to find that they laughed in spite?

Did you ever finally find a place
Did you ever finally find a place
A soft warm bed in a room of flowers
A soft warm bed in a room of flowers
And when you finally laid down your face
And when you finally laid down your face
You found you slept for a hundred hours
You found you slept for a hundred hours?
A hundred hours
A hundred hours

There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)
There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)
