what is a song, my little sister asked me
i told her, why ask me
i don't know
plus i don't feel like singin'
what is a song, she asked dad
but it just made dad a bit mad
my little sister never found out
until one day she spied upon me
i was composing in the tub
she saw me
she heard me singin'
what is a song, she asked mom
but mom just gave her some gum
my little sister was by now quite disillusioned
and so i sat her on the carpet
i sang her this new song and now
she thinks that all songs,
they are like thissun'
what is a song, i ask her now
but she makes a face, opens her mouth
and tries to act like her big brother.
