How To Write A Song Lyrics


How to write a song
How to write a song
How to write a song
How to write a song
If you write it on guitar
Place your guitar upon your knee
If you write it on piano
Don't do that
Place your fingers on the
Strings of your guitar
Not your piano
If you write it on piano, don't do that
Now strum or press together
Feeling, this might take a little time
Now think of something sad or something funny

Which inevitably brings us to the rhyme
Let's assume you're just an asshole
And there's nothing in your pain
It might help if you remember
These helpful little hints
Don't try to rhyme (sumba?) with anything
That goes for homage as well
But notice how cleverly
I just used them both
And all I have to do
Is rhyme well
You've got to be tricky
Because to avoid these words takes talent
So never ever trap yourself
Like that, or you'll end up saying words like
Oh, balent or falent
Or dalent or
Oh, I'm sure you'll catch on fast
Now some tips on tempo
And some subjects to avoid
Like the use of the word bandit
Unless you really have to say it
And that's for 'tempo'
And if you say 'time'
That's strictly up to you
Because that depends on how you play it
Now let's do (it) once
Now think of a rhyme
Now that's it, you're doing fine
Think of the good time
We just had together
If you practice these instructions
On the board of some new sale
If you listen very carefully
I'm sure you'll shout it there
I said shout
Shout it
Why, heheh, That rhymes with talent
That takes talent
That is talent
Oh my God, oh
Shout it rhymes with talent
That takes talent
That is talent
Oh
I cannot stand it
Woah

Harry Edward Nilsson III (born June 15, 1941 in Brooklyn, New York - died January 15, 1994), sometimes credited simply as Nilsson, was an American singer-songwriter with a three octave vocal range. He won Grammy Awards for Best Contemporary Male Vocal Performance for "Everybody's Talkin'" (1970) and "Without You" (1973), also his two biggest hits. Although both the aforementioned songs were composed by others, he was a talented songwriter in his own right, having written "One", a hit single for Three Dog Night.
