A little samba
Built upon
A single note
Other notes
Are sure to follow
But the root
Is still that note
Now this new note
Is the consequence
Of the one
We've just
Been through
As I'm bound to be
The unavoidable
Consequence of you
There's so many people
Who can talk
And talk and talk
And just say nothing
Or nearly nothing
I have used up
All the scale
I know
And at the end
I've come
To nothing
I mean nothing
So I come back
To my first note
As I must
Come back to you
I will pour
Into that one note
All the love
I feel for you
Any one who wants
The whole show show
Do-re-mi-fa
So-la-ci-do
He will
Find himself
With no show
Better play
The note you know
This is just A little samba Built upon A single note Other notes Are sure to follow But the root Is still that note Now this new note Is the consequence Of the one We've just Been through As I'm bound to be The unavoidable Consequence of you There's so many people Who can talk And talk and talk And just say nothing Or nearly nothing I have used up All the scale I know And at the end I've come To nothing I mean nothing So I come back To my first note As I must Come back to you I will pour Into that one note All the love I feel for you Any one who wants The whole show show Do-re-mi-fa So-la-ci-do He will Find himself With no show Better play The note you know Explain Request ×
