I think I’ll write a short song today
to summarize succinctly everything I have to say
compress all of my thoughts
into a clearly crafted plot
I think I’ll write a short song today
tell me did you happen to know?
the average song on the radio
is three minutes and a half
so swift in its attack
I think I’ll write a short song today
It may never be
my perfect masterpiece
but somehow someway
I’m gonna write a short song today
I’ve got so many points I could address
I’ve got so much emotion exploding in my chest
but i could lose your focus
with a seven minute opus
I think I’ll write a short song today
Verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge
followed by the chorus once again
three minutes and a half
to make you smile or cry or laugh
I think I’ll write a short song today
It may never be
my perfect masterpiece
but somehow someway
I’m gonna write a short song today
sometimes more is less
when there’s so much to express
the abridged version’s the best that I can do
sometimes more is less
when there’s so much to express
so I’ll just sing this last refrain for you
it may never be
my perfect masterpiece
but somehow someway
I’m gonna write a short song today
I’m gonna write a short song today
I’m gonna write a short song today
