The Lyrics
Oh my, I have so many songs to write,
I have to sit here hour after hour and try to think.
You'd think by now it would be easy,
But these parodies are difficult for me to dream up.
I have got a problem.
Tweedle dee and twiddle dum, I fidget and I squirm around.
Seems that I just cannot quiet down
Get to work and write this song.
But I've seen songs by the scads
Still I tweedle and I twiddle dee and dum and squirm around,
Can't sit still and write this silly song,
Type, delete, and type, delete, and type....
I wish that I could crank out songs by the millions,
No inspiration for me.
More words to dredge out of my brain pan, I see.
Sitting here by the hour, hoping that it's right
Or it's just a tolerable degree.
Maybe I can finish this tonight.
Where are all of the great ideas that I have had
Floating a-all around,
Ideas by the millions floating on by?
I'll catch one out of the air and frown
at it and then I will type away.
I have got a notion,
Tweedle dee and twiddle dum, I fidget and I squirm around.
Seems that I just cannot quiet down.
Get to work and write this song.
But I've seen songs by the scads
Still I tweedle and I twiddle dee and dum and squirm around
Can't sit still and write this silly song,
Type, delete, and type, delete, and type....
I see the words, little words, that make each sentence right
Each one twirled and rhymed just right
Some making sense, and others just rhyming
And, others doing both and more, I wish that was my song
Oh my, oh my, that is quite trite
Anybody else get sleepy writing?
Now I'm down to writing silly things that make no sense
Because it is late at night here.
I've some blue cake or green
With frosting in between.
Or if you wish, I've got
Doggy, doggy, dogfood covered with thick cream.
I will take that up with give the devil his due and he'll go away,
Because I am in charge you see now .
Wish that I were here today, commenting on
parodies I see and maybe
getting in the zingers that I really like.
It's interesting to see the discussions of writers, some are babies
Some can think and can really write.
I have got a problem.
Tweedle dee and twiddle dum, I fidget and I squirm around.
Seems that I just cannot quiet down
Get to work and write this song.
But I've seen songs by the scads
Still I tweedle and I twiddle dee and dum and squirm around
Can't sit still and write this silly song,
Type, delete, and type, delete, and type....(all night).
