Lyrics

[00:00.431] A B C D E F G
[00:11.967] I never learned to spell
[00:15.335] At least not well
[00:18.779] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
[00:24.471] I never learned to count
[00:26.839] A great amount
[00:30.806] But my busy mind is burning to use what learning I've got
[00:39.502] I won't waste any time
[00:43.710] I'll strike while the iron is hot
[00:48.230] If they asked me, I could write a book
[00:57.230] About the way you walk, and whisper, and look
[01:07.358] I could write a preface
[01:12.846] On how we met
[01:17.766] So the world would never forget
[01:26.454] And the simple secret of the plot
[01:36.102] Is just to tell them that I love you a lot
[01:45.797] And the world discovers
[01:51.790] As my book ends
[01:56.173] How to make two lovers
[02:01.544] Of friends
[02:05.501] And the simple secret of the plot
[02:53.669] Is just to tell them that I love you a lot
[03:03.537] And the world discovers
[03:09.606] As my book ends
[03:14.056] How to make two lovers
[03:20.774] Of friends
