A Symphony AND A Song (C)J.Birch 1998.

Do you remember when you were blue

& you didn't know what to do

Do you remember what you did

To get rid of it

You played a little bit of jazz

You played a little bit of that classical razzamatazz

The beatles and beethoven

A symphony and a song

Well sometimes you must admit

You do get sick of it

Those same old discs

It really hard to make them fit , isn't it ?

Now some people say

It has got to be a symphony

But I say they are wrong

I say , "It has got to be a NEW song."

If you had stayed a monkey

You wouldn't have

Ever , ever , ever

Had the money

And if you want a boom

Then you

Have to , have to , have to

Play the NEW tune

But you play a little bit of jazz

You play a little bit of that classical razzamatazz

The beatles and beethoven

A symphony and a song

Well I think you are wrong

If you want a boom

Then you

Have to , have to , have to

Play the NEW tune

Cuz' if you stay a monkey

Then you wont

Ever , ever , ever

Have the money !

I may be right

I may be wrong

A symphony AND a song ?

ballad

The music died in 59

Or so the story goes

But for me it was December 9

When ev’ry high sunk into a low

AND HAD IT BEEN YOU, OR STU

OR MAYBE EVEN PAUL

WHAT DID WE DO?

DID WE DO OUR ALL?

Quarry Bank High in 52

Or so the legend goes

First day he was lookin for a fight

Elastic shoes, Beatlemania

AND HAD IT BEEN YOU, OR STU

OR MAYBE EVEN PAUL

WHAT DID WE DO?

DID WE DO OUR ALL?

He was a writer and a fighter

He gave the world his love

They said he might have been a right off

He came back with a shove

And gave his love

AND HAD IT BEEN THEN, OR NOW

OR MAYBE NOT AT ALL

(OR HAD IT BEEN US ALL)

WHAT DID WE DO?

DID WE DO OUR ALL?
