This is the chorus from "Plateau," a song written by the Meat Puppets but known to most because Nirvana covered it on Unplugged in New York:

Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
and an illustrated book about birds
You see a lot up there, but don't be scared
who needs actions when you've got words?

"Words" should be "verbs." That would be much funnier!
