That's What a Song Is
Does it roll around in your head
Or pop up when you're toasting bread
Do you hum it lying in your bed
That's what a song is
A song can be most anything
A doorstop that's made out of spring
A cellphone when it starts to ring
That's what a song is
You'll find music when you least expect it
Gather the pieces and then connect it
There's no mistakes 'cuz you can correct it
And you've just written a
Then we get to sing along
Songs appear out of thin air
They're hiding almost anywhere
Just waiting for your voice to share
That's what a song is
An endless flowing work of art
Ten tunes are in a shopping cart
A train of thought time to depart
That's what a song is
One time I found I was in a quandary
My mind a blank as I filled the laundry
My music radar was feeling wandery
Starting the spin cyle
A certain musical sound
As the drum slowed down
That's it!
I see the world as a big museum
Spinning with songs but you may not see um
Look down and simply follow the bread crumbs
You're on the path now and
That's what a song is
That's what a song is
One sound I heard was a relief
It showed up while I brushed my teeth
My toothbrush hummed in the key of C
That's what a song is
Just find the words and add the notes
Set them free and away they float
So infectious there's no antidote
That's what a song is
Just bait the hook and drop the line
Your tune will turn out mighty fine
But don't forget a sweet bass line
That's what a song is
No longer stuck inside your head
You can sing it in a crowd instead
They'll hear it lying in their beds
That's what a song is
Gotta end it with yeah
